Memories. When I tried to tell my heart to "shake it off."
It told me, 'no' in a way that would get my attention, at last. Running in the woods alone and then, in what seemed like a blink of the eye, to the hospital and emergency bypass surgery.
This is not an episode of "Simpson's". It really happened to a clueless, isolated denier, me. How dramatic. Long story short, it did not end there.
I visited there with two of my favorite females, my beautiful wife and our cosmic dog. How special it was because yesterday was Independence Day, 2015.
Perspective on love and death. Not necessarily in that order. Like wine (I am told), time can tell a story.
