We all saw her standing
I’m not sure if the birds chirped that morning. I was sleeping. Who heard them? Who knows their song? They carried it till evening. And through the night a whisper was heard, when it was, there she stood. There was no where to sit. The room was loud. She was the only one speaking. Her […]

The year of the Orchid
Orchids represent love, beauty, and strength. Well on my birthday this past year, March 2019, my sister gifted me with an orchid. I haven’t kept much of anything alive this past year.

Today is 9/11 and I will never forget

On this side of Heaven
You were selfless and giving, full of love and laughter. You had so much energy and way about you. My heart was full whenever you were around. On this side of heaven, I am so proud of the man you were. You knew your days were limited, so you traveled the world to help sick […]

On this cold day, consider the homeless
This morning was cold, very cold. As I was leaving work around 8 am, I was tired and dreading the cold. After a certain point or degree, the cold is just same- very cold and frigid. It was below zero. Stepping outside, immediately the cold air blew against my skin. I was bundled, you’re almost […]
