For My Friend

I have no idea what to say to begin this blog. I have tried and tried to think of words that could explain the way I feel or to describe the love and respect I have for a man that is no longer with us. I am convinced there are none. So I will tell my memories with photos.




That's Orion in his lap. No more than a few months old. One of the first photos I took of Scot.
















I know it's not the most flattering photo, but it was a classic Scot look. I am pretty sure it's a "shut it!" moment.








I like this next one because it feels to me like a peek of something that you're not necessarily supposed to see, but your world is better because of it.




















He sure loved his grandkids!












Hannah: at the time, this one didn't seem important. It's from the rehearsal. But I love it now.












"And I don't know what tomorrow brings
It's alive with such possibilities
But I know that I feel better when I sing
Burdens are lifted from me
That's my voice rising"




















"I sat too long in my silence
Grown too old in my pain
To shed this skin, be born again
It starts with an ending"












He always had Tic Tacs for the kids.












He was such a huge part of our lives.












And he was always willing to help. He helped us, me, in ways I am sure he never even knew.








"Thank you friend for the time we shared
Your love stays with me like sunlight and air
And I truly wish I could keep hanging around here
But my joy is covering me, soon I will disappear"








I love and miss you forever.
