The Award

I am grinning from ear to ear!  One might think I was the one who just won a coveted award, but I am not!

I was not the one who managed to do my regular job and all those other projects that benefited the larger community while continuing to pour over books and footnotes, producing work that would make any professional proud.

My part was mostly that of cheerleader and perhaps a few small thoughts passed on in an unorganized and simple way.  But you would never know it by the way I am strutting this hour upon his stage!

My friend is being honored and I am basking in his light with such delight a stranger would be hard pressed not to believe it is my achievement too!  His honor fills me with joy and his joy makes me smile.
