TV Trouble
Karen and I had been married for several years and were still learning new things about each other daily. We met on an airplane and bonded over our love of traveling, walking, hiking, and exploring new cities. We spent our weekends traveling to nearby parks and forests, always looking for new hiking trails and sights.

Below is a song playlist that summarizes his journey.

Life's Complex Web
Dear Karma I write to you today, seeking answers to questions that have plagued my mind for some time now. I know you oversee the cosmic laws of cause and effect, and I trust in your infinite wisdom to guide me through life's trials and tribulations. Your vision is undoubtedly superior to mine and to all the people around me that are always offering their unsolicited advice.

Letter to Mom
To My Dear Mother, It's been several decades since you left me, and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I often find myself wishing I could turn back the clock and tell you everything I didn't have the chance to say while you were still with us. I want to express my deepest gratitude for everything you did for me while raising me as a single mom after my father's passing.
