Day 17 - Loss

Surprises come in many forms.

Today I drove out of town - about two and a half hours - to attend the funeral of a friend's grandfather. I didn't have the privilege of knowing this man but the setting was beautiful and the service was personal...a tribute to a life lived well.

On the way to the funeral we received word that a very close friend in Abilene had passed away after a year-long fight with cancer. I will miss my friend. But when I think about the words "life lived well" I'll always see his face.

Looking to tomorrow...
