Friends recently went to see comedian, Patton Oswalt, someone they have been wanting to
see for a very long time.
Mr. Oswalt recently lost his young wife. She died unexpectedly. There is a young daughter.
I assumed he would talk of her in his routine and he did. My friends recounted some of his funny stories to me.
Some of his dialog was truly humorous.
My friends enjoyed the whole evening and told me they felt that just listening and laughing
may have helped Patton.
They certainly felt better after the show.
You knew him better than anyone..so you get to share when and the way you want. Just ask them to listen.

My heart goes out to you at this time. It must be a huge adjustment and very painful!

May tomorrow's path to peace be more clearly marked and have fewer obstacles than today.
