Today, I realized what a small world this is. At his funeral, I realized that my late Great-Uncle Frank was the type of person that my Father looked up to and aspired to be. It’s realizing who the idol of your idol is. And to make the world even smaller, my second-cousin (Uncle Frank’s grandson), whom I haven’t met prior more than possibly once in my life, is in the AKPsi Merced Chapter. May both my Father and Great Uncle rest in peace.

May we live the life they would want us to live. Amen.

The following was one of my Father’s favorite songs. I’m revealing myself to be a sentimental git by saying this, but this is the one song that’ll make me tear up. It’s a duet between the late Nat King Cole and his daughter.
