An Unexpected Trip

I’m sorry to say that I had to make a very unexpected and sad trip back to Indiana yesterday. Pip’s Mom who I will always remember as Swami lost her battle with cancer and passed away on Saturday morning.

I’m happy to say that there were literally hundreds of people there to celebrate this wonderful woman. Through the tears and laughter is became once again apparent to me just what a wonderful woman Claudia was. Hearing stories from people from all times in her life was an absolute treat. There was so much love in that room and it was all for Swami.

Rest in peace Swami. You will be missed and never forgotten. Thank you for everything that you gave of yourself and thank you for touching so many lives. Love you lady.

Thinking About Swami

Going to drop out of “character” here for a moment and just write… As you know one of my best friends on this earth is Pip and I love him like a brother. That love extends to his family and especially his mom who I affectionately refer to as “Swami”.

To make a long story very short, Swami isn’t doing all that well these days. I (like Pip) am not one to ask for prayers from others, but if you’ve got some to share please send them out. She could definitely use them.

Thew, Richard, Lauren… I said it before and I’ll say it again. If you need anything say the word and I’ll be there in a matter of hours. Believe me when I say that it’s not just lip service.

Get well soon Swam… love ya.
