I am getting to ride on a long road trip and that has afforded me the opportunity to consider some things. First, Reneé and I are blessed beyond our ability to comprehend. We have each other, a wonderful daughter, a funny and compassionate grandson and memories of a much-loved son. We are warm and dry, clothed and fed. We have all we need and more. We have the opportunities and means to give generously. And we are so very thankful.
The dreary weather lends itself to introspection and reflection, and today I am thinking of friends that have passed, many of them years ago, and I realized that, as long as their names resonate in our hearts and memories, they are still with us. Cy Boyd, Charlie Dempwolf, David Franklin, Bobby Pettis, Larry Parker, Jerry Welch, Jamie Pope, Henry Pittman, Anita Albright. When you read those names, if you knew them, you probably smiled. If you remember them they had an impact on you. And that keeps them alive, if only in our memories.
Sometimes we need to get lost in reverie. It is good for the soul.
