Bruce Sinclair Swasey

Bruce is still dead, dang it.

I miss him every day.

The most important thing Bruce taught me was about the power of being welcoming.

You can change the world for the better just by acknowledging that people are there. That you see them. That you’re happy they stopped by.

Say hello to your server. Your cashier. Your classmate. The person in the pew.

Ask them how they are. Listen.

It is so simple. And it is so much of what we want.

I miss Bruce so much. We should all live so that people miss us when we are gone.
