I should have a very witty caption, but the photo reminds me of the beach trips we used to have with church when I was in high school, and the fellow in the picture reminds me of a very dear friend whose name was Maynard. No...that wasn't his real name. The real one was Dennis. He was a crazy wonderful man and unfortunately I didnt appreciate him enough at that time. What silly, silly girls we were. If only we knew the right things to look for in a fellow while we were still young.
Anyway, life brought him back around a couple of years ago and I was able to spend a bit of time with him. After that, we had many long phone conversations. There would have been more to this story, but cancer took him from us not too long afterward.....Darn disease!
I look forward to having many laughs with him when I meet him on the other side one day. For now, there are many stories to tell of that time in my life and I'm sure I will end up sharing some of them. I'm just as sure that tales of Maynard will be among them.
Oh...and just to show you what a crazy guy he could be I will share this pic with you.
Then, here is one taken very shortly before he died.
Save a place for me.
