Goodbye,
This week, a dear old man passed away. He was 81 years old and a jolly fellow! He was always happy and always prepared with a joke whenever I would greet him at church. I have enjoyed lunch dates with him and his wife (when I would run into them while doing errands, they are sweet enough to invite me). I have blushed at his giving away of any of his grandkids to me and my cousin for ‘marriage’ (yes he is quite the king of blarney). I have enjoyed conversations with him about education, children, and faith.
To a man I would have fond memories of, good bye and I hope I shall see you again soon. Thank you for providing encouragement in the little ways you did, and for being one of the people in church that I enjoy talking to. I shall miss you.
