Dearest Cindy, It’s hard to believe today marks the second Valentine’s Day since you left this earth. How I wish you were still here. How I wish we could be building a family we often talked about during our brief marriage. There’ve been many sleepless nights since that second week of 2007. I’ve sometimes found …

One Year Later
If you’ve followed my blogs, you’ll realize this week is one I’ve dreaded. Tuesday will mark a full year since Cindy suffered her first seizure. Thursday will mark a full year since she died from this sudden, unexpected illness.
Ohio State 14, State Up North 3
Somewhere in Heaven, Cynthia Deann Morris has a big smile on her face. Ohio’s motto tells us, “With God, all things are possible.†Therefore, I don’t think I’m going out on too much of a limb when I say I truly believe Cindy has met Woody Hayes sometime this year. And, even though he coached …
Rare Praise To Those Who “Get It”
First, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve made any posts on the record. Much of the business I’ve had to take care of this year following Cindy’s death is nearly finished. Now, it’s on to the first Thanksgiving and Christmas since she died. These are events that are hard to imagine. To those …
Sorry, Not My Department
The laughs remain few and far between. Thankfully, an e-mail at work led to a chuckle or two. You guessed it, it came from that wonderful world of satellite interviews. This time, I’ll spare this pinhead some embarrassment by not naming who sent me this, what company he works for or the product in question. …
Present At The Creation

A co-worker was at the bar on July 31, 2002 – viewing the extremely humble beginnings of a loving relationship from afar. I’d spot this co-worker on our way out of the restaurant. Today, to commemorate another otherwise …
Charleston and Bob Evans
Some people representing parts of Cindy’s past are joining her in Heaven this week. As noted earlier, Cindy called Charleston, South Carolina, home for a couple of years. She was an area coordinator at the College of Charleston. With her history studies, she truly enjoyed “Historic Charleston”. I can remember during the ultimate tournament of …
Always In Need Of Good News
For the first time in more than a decade, Cindy is celebrating Father’s Day with Marvin today – in Heaven. Last month, my brother and I went to Cindy’s gravesite in Ohio to observe what would’ve been a second wedding anniversary. En route, Geof and I had a few fun times along the way – …
Not Quite How I Envisioned Year Number Two
Friends, first and foremost, thanks for the continued prayers. They’re much needed. A few friends told me people I don’t even know or have never met are praying for me, my relatives and Cindy’s relatives — and that means a lot. Among those I’ve never met, a couple of Cindy’s former classmates from her college …

Point, Counterpoint
Off and on throughout these last few months, I’ve needed some comic relief. Today’s comic relief just fell into my inbox toward the end of my shift. Yes, friends, it’s another rant against that wonderful world of P.R. trying to pitch your friendly neighborhood TV station the next great satellite interview.
