FRIED COFFEE

Thank you for forgetting when as a younger man I was self-absorbed, racing into life hungry for adventure. Thank you for ignoring brash actions borne of inexperience. Most importantly, THANK YOU for unconditional love and being there for me even when undeserved. You have, through example, led me toward honor, spirituality, and tolerance.
