Joe was a dear friend of mine since grade 7 thru grade 12. We parted as I married and moved out west. We reunited when he called me up one day & visited me on Vancouver Island.
Joe was still Joe after all those years nothing had changed. Thankfully, we connected again and had a few more visits. A few too few….
Here’s to a great human who is definitely not forgettable. Life is precious and let us all take that opportunity to reconnect when possible!
Much love,
Dana
