We'll always have Insalata Caprese

This summer wasn't the best I've ever had. I know a lot of other people had worse, though.

I'm trying to keep things in perspective. Ebb and flow, good and bad, sunrise and sunset.

My friend Bill loved insalata caprese. At his funeral a few weeks ago his wife mentioned that, said something about how when Costco started selling buffalo mozzarella it was the happiest day of his life.

There are a hundred things a day that remind me of my friends and family who have died. There's the family heirloom kitchen gear I've mentioned so often, but other people and other things, like hearing my friend Scott's favorite song on the radio like I did on the way home last night. It made me realize that it's been 16 years since he died. He's been gone longer than I knew him, but it's surprising how often I think about him.

And when I do think about him now, I don't choke up, at least not usually.

This is what the grief counselors said: One day you'll realize you remembered and it didn't make you cry. Then you can savor the memory.

I've been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It?s pretty price enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the net shall be a lot more useful than ever before.

I'm so happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the accidental misinformation that's at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.
