1 of 2 - A good friend of mine unexpectedly lost his wife. A couple months later we were golfing together, chatting about nothing. He asked what my dinner plans were and I told him wifey wanted my homemade chili and cornbread, but I didn't feel like stopping at the store. We golfed a few more minutes when he quietly said, “Make the chili."
@jeffowski If there's only one thing in this world that I need to make people understand, it's this. Treat every interaction with someone you love - spouse, friend, parent, cousin, guy you knew in college but aren't as close to now - like they might be snatched away from you forever tomorrow. Because believe me, they can be. Don't take a single day for granted. Don't skip that birthday because you figure there'll be another one. If they want to talk, fucking drop what you're doing and talk.
