That last little story, though. Brought me tears. (A uncommon thing to do, my friend.)

You hope when you share something from the heart it will impact people in a similar way. I know you understand that as a writer yourself. Thank you for sharing that with me. 🙏🏻

Thank you Steve. Sometimes certain ones hit a little harder or go a bit deeper. Glad to hear this one did that for you.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’m the November baby of my house and my mom and two brothers would be in February. The difference is that for some reason, I became the one in charge of making birthday cakes. So, after 3 cakes in a row, I didn’t want to see another cake until my dad’s birthday in July, or mine. 🤣 What a beautiful picture of you and your wife! Happy Sunday and always thank you for the great life inspiration.

There's a lot of hysteria and fear right now in the collective consciousness. There's also stuff like this incredible find from the Smithsonian, something unimaginable even a few decades ago in the arc of human history. I appreciate the hope and progress it represents.

Thank you for sharing - and happy birthday?
