Hey John…. It’s been a long while. I’m so disappointed in myself that I let my chaotic life get in the way of stopping by your house to say, “Hey John how have you been my friend!” It’s so sad that we always think we still have tomorrow to do so when in fact this is the wrong way to think! I could kick myself for not stopping when I passed your house 100x’s in that 4.5 years after my house fire. I can’t believe it was 4.5 years since I seen you.
Your laugh and your beautiful smile was so contagious. Not sure how I let myself not be in your presence for that long. I loved your dimples too. I took notice of your teeth because you had the same cute small gap between your two front teeth like mine. You had the prettiest blue eyes too.
I always said to you that you would make a great horse jockey because of how small you were. John Thank you for watching Alia (my German shepherd) while I went on my Africa trip. She is my pride and joy and I knew I had nothing to worry about entrusting you with her. You had the biggest heart than anyone I know on this Earth. God knows the good ones to take. Alia loved you she didn’t even get as excited as I thought she would when I came to pick her up because she knew it meant leaving you and she didn’t want to leave you. Thank you so so much for your kind heart your generosity and most importantly for being my friend for 10 years. You are definitely one of a kind. I pray I get to see you again when I’m fortunate enough like you are to be able to come home to the Lord.
With Love Always John. Your friend Denine
