I wonder if he would remember me? Probably not. We met for only a short time there on the back deck of the cabin. I wonder if I might have been the first human person he had seen close up. Maybe. He didn’t appear to be afraid. He gave me a good going over with his bright eyes, as I did of him standing there in his yellow jacket. We talked for a few moments…well, I talked and he listened courteously. We made a momentary bond. And then we went our separate ways. A momentary friend. His mind wondered about me, as mine did about him.
Do you have friends you wonder about? “I wonder how old….is doing these days.” Maybe today would be a good day to jot off a note saying “Hello, my friend. Just thinking of you.” Who knows…you might be sending a note at just the right time, just when a friendly memory is most needed. Think about it. Today might be the day you make a huge difference in someone’s life by just saying “Hello”. Consider this my “Hello” to you, a blessing sent your way, a generous thought held for you, a re-connection over time and distance. I hope your heart will be at peace today, your spirit receptive to the embrace of God. You are remembered. You are alive in my mind and in my heart. That’s what friends are for.

Dear friend – I just did as you and God suggested.
