So I tried my best.

Let's see if I did a good job with it.

So here we go.

So the framework is we're having a memorial service for Scott.

The reframe is we're having a party and Scott is running really late.

What if, instead of thinking about this as a sad event, we think about it as a get together?

Is it really true that Scott is running really late?

No, of course not.

Does that matter for the reframe?

Not really.

We all have friends we haven't talked to in a long time.

If you stop, you could probably think of a bunch of people that if you ran to them right now, it would really make your day.

You have their phone number, their email address.

You could reach out to them this very instant if you wanted to, but you won't for whatever reason.

It doesn't mean you don't like them.

It just means they're not in your life at this moment, and that's fine.

It's possible you'll never communicate with them again.

That doesn't change your opinion of them one bit.

Scott tried to do two things in his content.

He tried to make people laugh, and he tried to make people think.
