I know it's a small world, but geez! Recently I've been messaging with a plethora of your old friends and connections. But not that long ago I was chatting with Maureen. She said she was coming into town from California for a short period. She was asking about mom and if she should stop in there, and I gave her the short version of the whole long story.

Anyway the fam and I were wrapping up some ice cream in downtown New Buffalo and this girl comes up to me. I'm pretty sure you can already guess where this is going, but it was her! So after all this chatting back-and-forth we actually had the chance to connect (on a random street in Michigan) for a couple of minutes. She got to see the kids, we had to talk about you, and it felt really nice. Obviously it would've been better if she got to see you or you guys got to see each other, but it is still kind of cool I'm getting a chance to connect with some of your old friends. Certainly doesn't make anything better but I think it helps with some of the processing. Miss you!
