Reddi-wip, lilke bug spray doesn’t always work. Why, I remember using it to top off a peanut butter peach pie I was so proud of only to find that, when using Reddi-wip, a rank, reek, putrid and pungent liquid shot all over the pie not only ruining it for me but also disqualifying me from the Wyoming State Fair. It was such an embarrassment!

I so wanted to believe in your silver lining so continued to support you until the tragedy happened where our lives were changed forever:

Timmy, my nephew, was such a fine young lad and an honor roll student on his way to become something great. We just knew it! Well, being a youngin’, naturally, anything that looks goodntastynsweet..you get my point.
This time, however, the goodntastynsweet that little Timmy was oh so looking forward to getting (through the nozzle of the can to his lips) was not to be had.
I still drive by that lot where our house once stood. Recently, I thought I saw a wild flower trying to just make it in the midst of all that burnt grass.
We miss Timothy dearly however we’re really thankful that the fire chief was able to gather up enough of his ashes for us to memorialize in our urn.

Perhaps, too, there’s a little bit of Timothy in that wildflower I once saw. Just trying to make it on his own.
