Life Goes On

Yesterday I took a call from the wife of an old customer. Sadly, she was calling to tell me her husband had passed away. I offered my condolences of course, and promised to pray for him.

I had known the man since my teens, so we're talking about the 1970s. It seems so long ago, and yet almost yesterday. The older we get, the more such experiences we have. C'est la vie, I guess.

He was a Shriner, and a couple of times he gave me tickets to take my family to the Shrine Circus. I always appreciated that, especially as a young family man with hardly any disposable income, and appreciate it all the more today.

Godspeed, good sir. Godspeed.
