We had horrible news yesterday.
A good friend died suddenly.
This was the husband of my friend who came over to paint rocks. We were suppose to go on a hike Monday. She invited me to the Botanical Gardens yesterday, but I couldn't go.
The friend who joined for all of this too called me. They were at the gardens when the call came (her daughter found him). Hour of traffic to get home. They had to wait outside for the entire afternoon while the authorities did an investigation.
My husband considers him a close friend. They get together almost every week. We've traveled with them and had plans to do more.
He was one of the good guys. He was the only husband of a friend who I considered an actual friend too. We have a strong connection to another friend who we knew at different times -- absolutely crazy.
Funny, kind, great conversationalist, upbeat -- everyone loved him. No exaggeration.
When they say only the good die young -- this is that.
He will be so missed and we are heartbroken for my friend and her daughters.
I'll leave it at that today.
Godspeed, my friend.
