Talking about Grief, and Staying Human
Grief doesn’t announce itself.
It shows up in ordinary moments – a song on the radio, a quiet Sunday morning, a question no one asks anymore. And while grief is something almost everyone experiences, it’s still one of the things we talk about the least.
Not because it isn’t important – but because we don’t know how.
When... Continue reading

Whale Rescued Near Golden Gate Bridge Shows Gratitude to Divers After Life-Saving Mission
A fisherman who was fishing east of the Farallon Islands (just outside of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California) spotted a whale who was fully entangled and bound in a fishing net. The fisherman radioed for help and within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that the whale was so badly tangled that the only way to save her was to dive in, cut the ropes and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition as one slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.

I was thinking, it’s going to take a few hours for them to get to me once I get ahold of them, when my son goes, someone is here. Like this guy appeared out... Continue reading
