My wife and I were fighting when I heard this, and I went and made up. Life *is* too short. This is an essay about a woman's love for her recently passed father. I cried at the description of the church services at Easter, with the elderly man who sat next to her. I've never cried at a real-life funeral. This piece was very well-written and really hits the mark. There are several points made in such a wonderful way that they could be modern-day Proverbs. From the touching metaphors about grocery bags to the expressive narration, I very much liked this piece. At it's length and topic, it may not fit perfectly on a lot of shows, but I can certainly hear this one capturing an audience.
