My Good Friend

My good friend.

Arthur went with me to pick up Laurie’s ashes.
He took me to swim in the cold, cold lakes.
We went to Chicago together to hear music.

Friends like him only come along once.

Love them.
Thank them.
Do good works in their names.

God sends them for a season, and then, they are called away.
