"Most of you know that my beloved husband, Wolfie, passed away on December 15th. (If you didn't, don't worry about it; I friends-locked the posts about his illness. He had H1N1 and died of complications after a seven week struggle.) He was much loved by his friends and family, and will be missed by more people that I think even he would have guessed.
So many of you have said how his art inspired you, and how you were touched by his humor and kindness and generosity. Here's what I want you to do:
If you see someone having a bad day, ask them what's troubling them. Give them a chance to vent. Sometimes that's all they want.
Pay random compliments.
Share. Share your time, share a joke, share a hug, share a drink.
Appreciate the beauty of the world. Everyone has a story, and they want to tell it.
Help people. Even getting something off the top shelf in the grocery store can make someone's day. Think of what helping with the clean-up after a party can do.
Play.
Be kind. Be loving. Be awesome to one another.
Don't forget him. Tell stories about him. Tell the people you love how you feel. I never missed a chance to tell him that I loved him -- don't ever miss a chance in your own lives.
Thanks, y'all. Go forth and do good things."

I watched with horror as a dear friend lost her brother to H1N1 this summer (it was a months long battle). It is a terrible thing. Shocking and awful.

No, not like a baby. Like an adult who has an inkling of the love and courage it took her to write something that wise and beautiful at such a dark time.
