Thanks for sharing this portrait of your cousin. You are a gifted writer.
When my mother unexpectedly passed away 10 years ago… I remember the most comforting thing anyone said to me… "I don't know what to say". And I thanked them for it… to stunned expressions… and explained… "Neither do I". Which released them from the obligation of saying just the right thing, even though, they already did.
Jeffrey, thank you for the lovely compliment, and taking a moment to know my cousin, Kevin. I really appreciate and love that you come here regularly to see when I have posted something new. I'm really grateful for that, Jeffrey. Thank you.
My roots are "farmer's roots," too. I didn't understand it either(do they HAVE to talk about the weather again…BORING!). I don't want to over-romanticize life on the farm either, but I came to a much greater appreciation over time.
What I see now is how you and Kevin are both alike…you just had different passions and how cool is that?
