My father in law passed away last night (long term illness, no surprise) and as I sat alone thinking about my wife, my kids and my mother in law and their grief I chose to remember all of the wonderful times we had spent together. I had a news station tuned in and overheard that both Marilyn Chambers and Mark Fidrych had also died. Hopefully I can somehow disassociate the three but I'm afraid that they'll be intertwined in my memory forever. Don't mind me, just reflecting with my fingers.

Very sorry to hear that. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

The mind is particularly sensitive to smells. If I smoke something particularly interesting or unique, later on I'll revisit that stick (months, years later) and immediately be reminded of the thoughts and mood of the last time I smoked that particular blend. I've noticed this more so with the pipe, but I'm still new to that.

So all that to say this: Smoke a great one in honor of the good & great moments!
Next time you smoke that same stick, perhaps you'll be pleasantly reminded of those good times.

Extremely difficult at times like these. If u r a man of faith, turn to that faith and ask for the courage to go through this and to help ur family.
My prayers are with you.

I appreciate the warm and kind thoughts, thank you all. And thanks to Tubaman I do have a very special smoke I can honor his memory with.

My condolences to you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this tough time. How is your wife holding up? If there is anything I can do to help out in any way, give me a shout, you have my number I believe.

Peace brother.
