Billable Hours

Dear Gerard,

I keep thinking about your last Facebook post.  I was in my classroom and checked Facebook while my students worked.  You announced your new website.  I clicked on the link to view what I would later be sharing.  You know I always shared your post to help promote your business.  I was so proud of you though I don't recall every saying that to you.  We expressed ourselves differently.  Anyway the first thing I noticed was the sentence on your home page.  My first thought was, "Gerard wrote that himself".  The sentence was a bit awkward and I intended to help you fix it.  After all anytime I would correct your grammar you would always say, "well shit I am not a writer". LOL.  How true!  

I also intended to point out how I was helping you for free.  You believed in getting paid for everything.  How I wish you would've been the DJ at our last family reunion.  One more memory we all could have had of you.  How I wish I had picked up the phone and called you when I read your post, but I didn't think you would answer the phone.  You know you never answered the phone.  I really wish I had called and given you the new sentence.  How I wish you would've called me and asked for my help.  

I hope I don't spend my life wishing.  My goal is to live as you did, drama free and smiling.  Okay so I am not smiling all day everyday.  You know that will never be me.  Remember you told me I am not "warm and fuzzy" and you were right.  I am glad I listened.  That's another story for another day.

Blowing kisses at the sky!
