Friends

The older I get the smaller my circle of friends gets.

I lost a friend  few weeks ago. He was 40 years old, married to wonderful woman and they had 2 precious boys ages 8 and 5.  It seems so unfair to me that someone who was so wonderful should be taken away so young.
It made me want to call all my friends and tell them I love them.

I got to see a friend this weekend that I have known for 15 years. That is a fairly long time in friend world.
People grow apart and lose touch all the time.
A true friend is one that you pick up right where you left off no matter how much time has passed.

Don't be afraid to tell your friends how you feel.
Hug them a little tighter when you say good bye.
No one is guaranteed a tomorrow.
Life is crazy busy but it should never be to busy to forget a great friend.

Sammiedrew!

This is my little brother Sam.
I call him Samdrew or Sammiedrew!
He is almost 18! Where those 18 years went I will never know.
Seems like yesterday I was at the hospital holding him and he was teeny tiny!!
Or he was 3 years old and I was teaching him how to tackle. It was hilarious watching a 3 year old tackle my other brother Matt who was 8 years old! It was a fundamentally perfect tackle.
Sam jumped up triumphantly and Matt stood up crying! Sorry Matt, it was a perfect tackle!
One of the proudest moments of my football coaching career!

Samdrew is a great kid. Smart, sweet, funny, sensitive, polite, genuine and all around fantastic!!
He is going thru some MAJOR "stuff" right now.
Can not wait to get to Minnesota to take care of him and the rest of my family.
He needs all the extra prayers he can get right now. Feel free to send them his way! :)
