I started to type this a couple times already and deleted each one, little to heavy with the details of the last week. If it becomes obvious to me that the details can help others I will gladly share - I have no secrets.
Suffice it to say, I am happy that my "Kids" are assembling back at "casa rubi" in anticipation of the coming Family Holiday. These "Kids" coming in from Universities from here and there - ALL doing well. Testimony to them and their Character seeing as what they have faced lately and represented this week by anniversaries of tragic loss.
Go into this weekend "the Holiday" ..... with peace in your hearts and joy in spending precious time with Family. IF you want, do not hesitate to kiss and hug everybody - look them in the eye and tell them you Love them.
Quality begets Quality and so does Love.
On the Subject of Quality...
I make no apologies that the last thing I dress in the morning id my RHK knife. It is the last thing that comes out of my pocket at night.
I write with my RHK pen at the office and if I happen to have left my pen in my truck when offered a pen when I am out, I politely say "no thank you" go out to my truck and return with my pen and sign my name the proper way for me.
Why?
Because these "things" represent several qualities to me ..... Memory of being happy, feeling of quality and the associations with RHK, "Here" as well as the items that I carry (knife, pen, etc.) they represent who I am to those who may not yet know me.
That's why.
As far as Love, Sometimes I ask myself.... "Why is it so hard sometimes to say and show how one really feels? Me included'
I don't have a short answer but I will say this to BOTH of the above issues...
Carry your knife, use and enjoy your RHK stuff and never never let a day or a call or a Holiday... end without saying and showing the love you have for those closest to you.
You may not get another chance.

That is a very true statement Rubi. That is what is crazy about this life, you never know.... So many will say live everyday as if it were your last/to the fullest(depends on your personality). Enjoy the people and things in this life, and be sure to treat others with kindness and with respect, and be sure to love and express your love with those close to you.
The quality of this life really rings truth.
I would like you to share what has happened if you don't mind. I find that it helps talking to others about these things only if you feel comfortable Rubi.

I just wanted to emphasize the sentiment that we sometimes need to express or "non-manly" feelings. I'm usually a private guy when it comes to my life, but I lost my dad on the 12th and we had his funeral today. I know I loved him, and he loved me, but being "men" prevented us from saying so. Please hug your mom, dad, daughter, son, brother, sister, etc. Tell them you love them. Life is very short, and unexpected sometimes. Sorry if I got to personal for you guys, but it feels just a little better to get a little off my chest.

Thanks guys for reminding us of the really important stuff in life.
Meluck my heart goes out to you and your family, I know too well the emptiness of the loss. Take what you have learned from your dad and practice his teachings everyday to keep his memory alive. One of my biggest regrets with my dad was the long periods of time that we lost connection due to disagreements, only to become very close the last few years of his life.
