Almost Conversation

I try to guess what color her hair will be next time I see her.


Huge heart, this one. Selfless and compassionate, someone I count on to help with simple things like a ride from the airport, all the way up to promoting my next gig. So full of life. She deliberately lights up whatever space she occupies.

Then she says, "It matters if they can hear the love in your voice. When I'm talking to a dog, they don't understand my words, but they can tell by the way I speak that I love them and they understand what I mean even if the words don't make sense."


So....did Angie just call me a dog?
