    I'm happy you're not in pain anymore, but hurt that you didn't say goodbye.

    From Sage Dahm's Facebook; Favorite Quotes. "I was moved when I first heard that my childhood hero Davy Crockett was supposed to have said, ""First, be sure you're right then go ahead."" Over the years here is what my inner Davy Crockett has taught me. 1) Every day give yourself a new universal get-out-of-jail card. Because I can't know everything about everything, I give myself a break-out card and be satisfied that I took a shot. 2) Activity is life. Actively seek new experiences. At my best, I choose to be man-handled by life, then learn its lessons and continue on. 3) Believing that I know the finality of a thing is a constant recipe for eating my own words. Life is a dance across the land, not a deed to settle on it. 4) Show up! Hiding my passions, playing down my gifts, and omitting the polite sharing of my understandings doesn't create much value. 5) Give up poliite arrogance. Does it matter? Is it mine to do? And when I find out what matters, do I have the courage to act, to correct myself and continue to be better, not so much for them only, but for me? If you will, it's your turn. What's your favorite quotation?"

    ​ Sage was a customer of ours at PCC Natural Markets. He would come in once every couple of weeks, often to have hours-long lunches with his family he clearly cared very much for. He would come up to me while I was working and ask me how I was doing, and I would often reply with how business at the store was either busy or slow, energetic or quiet and relaxing. He would look me in the eye and say, "but how are YOU doing?", putting his hand over his heart or pointing to his head. WIth such small, innocent questions Sage helped me open my mind and heart both inward and outward. Of course, like many things in life, lessons and memories are often learned and remembered in retrospect. For me, there has never been another human being which I've cried such happy tears over in times of mourning and remembrance. Charles was truly a unique treasure capable of great care and empathetic thought. I continue to celebrate Sage and the memories he left me with.

    I visited Uncle Chuck in May 2015 in Seattle. We had a three-hour lunch with my best friend, and my son Joshua and Uncle Chuck. It was a highlight of my trip. Always smiling and always a fun man to talk to. He danced with me and Joshua on the sidewalk. My heart Smiles just thinking about it. Miss you and love you Uncle Chuck.
