Memorial

I haven't posted for almost 10 days. Before this past Tuesday it was just because we were being very boring and there was nothing to say. I wish I had nothing to say now. People I haven't talked to in a while often ask "What's new?" and I'll say "not much,, but that's a good thing right? no drama" and we share a laugh.
This past week has been full of new things for our family and I've never wished I could rewind time so much.
One of our very best friends died tragically and suddenly.
We will not be the same without him. A little piece of who we are died on Tuesday too. We loved him dearly and he knew it.
I'll miss picking up the phone and hearing "Hey, what's going on?" and then having a hour of "gripefest" before I ever handed the phone to my husband.
We griped about politics.
We griped about work (His. I mostly commiserated)
We griped a little about family and the trials of parenthood.
We griped about bad neighbors.
We griped about how hard it was to loose weight.
