Awww, Rick! What a wonderful story! Thanks so much for sharing another of your beautiful drabbles on HHH, and a huge thank you, too, for your kind mention of HHH supporting fellow writers! That was so lovely of you!

I can sure relate to the message in this piece and I love how you've made this important point.

Beautifully timed reading at this end; I'm just in the midst of writing a story about another "Rick" who was always such a kind soul. I'm a bit tearful, as he died suddenly and I'm diving into some precious memories as I write about him.

And here you are with a story that is relevant, in a way.

A little PS - I had been checking throughout yesterday through to after midnight but there were no stories in the queue. Less than an hour ago, I got a notification that says you submitted this 14 hours ago! But it was not in the HHH drafts till now!

Medium is glitchier than ever and I'm sorry you ended up waiting!
