Yes, that expression has become ubiquitous these days. But is it sincere or insincere, like so many acquaintances these days that come and go in a flash.

My second caregiver, Dana, told me that as part of his internship as a senior premed student at Rice University, he was in a surgery by Dr DeBakey, noted heart surgeon, and actually held a beating heart in his hand. The ultimate heart holding.

A beautiful young black woman gave me a heart the other day at the dental office. She was referring to the book I had given her of short stories. It made me feel really good that she appreciated my writing that much and wanted more.

Beh wants to learn sign language and teach me, so that when I become fully deaf, she can communicate with me by sign language. I prefer that she use her phone to give me captions of what she's trying to tell me.

Another loving write by a poet who knows well the technique and the readability of the day-to-day poet audience. Your poem for me is in a varied Haiku style and works so well with the lean usage of words, each having solid meaning. Love to see you back. Your writing is an inspiration to me as a work-in-progress author and poet. There's alway something to remember with your work. Thank you for being back and providing the site with the kind of words it so needs.
