“Dad, I can’t believe you’re gone. You’ll never pick me up from school again…you won’t be at my wedding.”
Sam Rubin’s son Colby pays tribute to his late father who died suddenly on Friday.
Denny’s I work at in Utah. You asked me, ‘Can I have a waitress who is a single mother?’ I thought it was very odd, but I sat you in Crystal’s section. You sat there for 2 hours just watching people. 7 families came in and ate while you were there and you paid every one of their bills, over $1,000 you paid for people you didn’t even know. I asked, 'Why did you do that?' You simply said, ‘Family is everything, I’ve lost all mine.’ Looking into your eyes while you said that made me tear up (It’s why I walked away so quickly) as soon as I got in the back I broke down in tears because your eyes had so much pain in them.
I just wanted to let you know, the waitress Crystal that you requested was living in a shelter with her son until she was able to save up enough to get a place. Your bill was $21.34 and you left her a $1,500 tip, because of you she gets her new place next week, because of you 7 families ate for free. Crystal told me she prayed the night before for a miracle and God sent you. You left before any of us could say thank you, I hope you read this because you’re truly an amazing person and you stole the hearts of every one of us here. Thank you."

Please share maybe he will see this.
hypothetically,
if I was going to nominate a film about a badger,
starring a badger,
called "Badger,"
for best picture...
I would also nominate the badger, right?
A Blessing After A Loss
God, we are heartbroken
in the face of so much grief.
What could we possibly call blessed?
Could we try?
Blessed are we who allow ourselves to feel it—
the impossibility
of what was possible a second ago—
the light decision, the casual stroll,
the easy exchange and ordinary duty,
a decent choice or a nothing one,
the sweep of hours on a day
that was like any other.
until it wasn’t.
This is the place where
nothing makes sense.
This is the place where
tears show up without permission.
Blessed are we
who allow our hearts to break,
for it will be some time
for brittle unreality to release us
Back into the land of the living.
We have seen and lost
what we never should have.
Blessed are we even in the moments
when we are convinced,
absolutely sure,
that there is nothing untouched
by the ashes of loss.
God, you are an architect
and everything I have is in ruins.
Promise me that someday
something will stand
after so much fell.
