The Christmas Letter

 

 

We got a Christmas Letter from Dave and Sandy.  It’s on my desk.

 

Great friends.  We enjoy them every time we visit.  Pleasant attitudes.  Interesting.  Animated.  Knowledgeable.  A shared interest in birds.  Sandy is younger.  We’ve teased David about being 80, while we still aren’t.

 

Just before that Christmas letter arrived, we got word that a fall and a subsequent cascade of medical events led to David’s untimely death.  Our hearts go out to Sandy and family.  The new reality is inescapable for them.  Me, I can set that Christmas letter aside and not read it yet.  When I do read it, it will be knowing it’s the last time we will ever get something from them together.  I don’t want that part to be over.
