Larry and Me

Jan in Alberta — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 22:21:39 -0500

by: Jan in Alberta

Description: We definitely were trouble when we were together. Most of the time Larry was like a big brother to me. I was always welcome in his parents' home although lots of times he'd come home from work and say, "Are you here AGAIN??" I was just devastated to learn that he died of a massive heart attack a few months ago. I hadn't seen him in about a lifetime but that didn't stop me from feeling so bad for his mom and dad. I have such good memories of us and would love to be able to go back and tell him that. Rest in peace Larry...

Description: We decided we needed new living room furniture and made the trek to the store in the middle of a bit of a blizzard. I was driving because my vehicle has higher ground clearance than DH's. When we came out of the store, there was quite a lot of snow on the windshield. I was ready to clear it off, but was told to just get in! Snapped this while he was busy... Jennifer Labre Winterberries Goudy Old Style (font)
