“Things go easier with time, Eddie. / A liar told me that.” That stopped me. There is so much affection and truth tucked into such a simple line. And then the poem just keeps remembering. Found my way here via Ray's Coolest. Congrats! <3

I liked this one. Though cousin Eddie may be gone, the relationship, memories and their impact live on through pieces like this.

Thank you, Gary. Our fathers were brothers, but also best friends. I miss all three of them.
