A gentleman…  Read more

To my beloved stepson Michael. This twenty-second year of your passing has seen your star shine even more brightly then ever,  if that could be possible.

Recently an article was published by a man who had jumped off The Golden Gate Bridge. Miraculously he survived. Hundreds have jumped to their death from the same bridge but of the few who have survived, they…  Read more
