beyond rich

the plan was to make dinner with zakk and yo.
the three of us. i love doin' that together.
but at the appointed time, i was still packin'
orders.

i heard the kitchen sounds goin' on and tried
to speed up. i ran up to tell them i just needed
to finish....give me a few minutes.

'that's okay, mom, we got it!'

so i went back to packin' as i listened to
them chattin' away about technical stuff that
i couldn't understand and the clankin' of the
dishes.

i love to listen to those two interact. they are
so close it's crazy. i packed orders to the
music of them in the kitchen.

i got up just in time to help stuff tacos.

grabbed a spoon to help. yo sat me down and
told me to just keep them company, he could
finish.

i grabbed a taco shell, started munchin' and
obliged. i was tired.

i sat there and looked at those two.....
thinking about a conversation i had way earlier
that morning......about being rich.

how could i ever have lost that feeling i had
had....that i was rich???

there was no mistakin' it sittin there, munchin'
and watchin'.....

i had it all......
