See you later, John Hendrix

This post if full of sadness and memories. Tuesday night, my dear friend Katie's father passed away. Thoughts of him and her family have been swimming through my mind for the past few days. We were in grade school and already best friends when John (the single father of a boy in our class) began to date and eventually married Katie's mother. It was scandalous:)

Over the years, John put up with countless nights of non-sleeping parties. He and Pat took all of us (his, hers, theirs, and I was often counted as one of the bunch) on many adventures. Mostly in the mountains that he loved. Occasionally, it would be a drive in movie where we would all be hidden under blankets giggling in the back of their Suburban.

So, here is to John Hendrix. May you be well now and at peace.
