I recently had a wonderful conversation with a fellow that I have heard of for much of my life – as Malcolm and Lynnie are childhood friends of Judy, whom I have known since we did ‘time’ together as teenagers at Target.
So, I may have crossed paths with Malcolm at a wedding, sadly a funeral and perhaps the odd social gathering.
On this occasion, a happy gathering of close friends and family celebrating the 60th anniversary of Judy’s day of birth, I got chatting with Malcolm and came away with the wisest of words – which I believe came from his grandfather.
They are too wonderful to hold alone – I will share them in a unique way with each of our three kids but today I want to share them on my blog.
