On Baby Hulk’s birthday my parents were at a funeral of a friend/neighbor’s son.  He graduated with me and a long time ago we were friends.  It’s a sad situation~ a man with two children gone.  Devastating really.  I can’t even imagine what his parents are feeling right now.  Or his children.

I knew this guy growing up, but hadn’t seen him in about 9 years.  I am thankful for a fun last memory of him.  And another fond memory of talking all night at my elementary school in my 20’s.  I can’t remember the details of what we talked about, but I remember it being a wonderful evening talking about life at that time.

I offer prayers for his family and for the repose of his soul.  I pray that peace comes sooner rather than later for them.  For the children he leaves behind, I offer sacrifices.  And while not a current friend, I am thankful for the friendship we did have at one time.  Please pray with me for his family.
