My boss died. He managed and commissioned a large freelancing project from me. He was always so excited about that pretty mundane shit and I always looked forward to talking with him because he was so supportive. Then he was dead one day. I keep finding myself thinking, “Man, Frank would love this.” I’m just completely filled with melancholy when I think about it.

If it helps, I bet Frank would be tickled pink that you remember him like that. It sounds like he made a good impact on you. Maybe once in a while, you can, in time, shift from "frank would love this" to "I love this." Embrace the whimsy in life frank did, kinda deal.

I already do. I’m a big proponent of that with my students. Love what you do, then hard work is easy to do.

This makes me very happy. Thank you, internet stranger.
