A Parting Gift
Labels: family
Life takes us many places. It's a box of chocolates and a Hansel and Gretal trail of candy wrappers. I have filmed as an actor in The Happening, Invincible, The Lovely Bones, The Bounty Hunter, The Greek American, Bazookas, Limitless, TV's Its Always Sunny in Philly, Outlaw, New York, The Warrior, The Nail, Game Change, Cold Case, & commercial work includes The Philadelphia Eagles, Septa, Coors, Turbo Tax & Carnival Cruises. Freudian Slips spotlights irony in short story format.
So too my life is a journey of self-discovery through mistaken identity. I crown thee website Freudian Slips.

I'm so sorry for your loss Joe.
OMG who was she?
foxxy one,
thank you.
mommanator,
She was the sister of a former girlfriend of his whose appearance had changed dramatically since anyone had seen her last.
Joe, I am so sorry about the loss of your brother. I too did the vigil for my dad, and it was all that you describe. Minus the lady. As you said, your brother would be laughing. All best.
SS Haggis.
haggis,
life's valleys...looking ahead to 2010.
Damn! One day after his birthday? I wish I saw the obit in the newspaper - I would've stopped at the funeral home.
"T" was always really funny. I'll always think of him as your little brother, perpetually 13 or 14 years old, which is around the time you and I dated.
I'm REALLY sorry for T's loss. - Steph
