The Saddest Gravestone

One summer I explored a local cemetery and among the hundred or so gravestones I saw that day- this was the saddest one.

Somethings that you see in life haunt you, some make you sad others make you angry.

This little gravestone made me feel all of those things.

When my nieces were little girls, I was telling them stories about  our family

and it came up in the conversation that I was half white and half Filipino

and my niece who was about three at the time had an ‘ ah ha ‘ moment and she said

” Oh! So you are a Jalapeno! “

I pondered on this for a moment and then I said-

” Yes. Yes I am. “

Ollie the Chocolate Lab had an emotional support pumpkin.

You, Emmanuel,  are descended from dinosaurs.

That might explain a lot here.

When you think about it, that’s kind of crazy.
