Simple reminder
I was getting ready for bed last night and noticed a picture frame on one of my book shelves. It stopped me in my tracks because I saw a picture of Pete in it, but then realized the entire frame was a gift from him. A couple months back we had a housewarming party for our newly remodeled apartment (which Pete had so nicely brought a washer up 3 flights of steps with his hernia and all a few months before that). Inside the frame were Polaroid pictures from my wedding. At one point (late in the night) Pete and Butz hijacked the camera, but the pictures taken were quite memorable. Pete had simply created a collage of these and framed them. So simple, but something that was so appreciated because it was so unexpected. I guess like a million things this week, the frame made me think of him and what a blessing he has been in my life.

Something kind of like that but not, on Monday when I got home I was bringing in all the stuff from the car. Butz and Zach had done a beer exchange last weekend, Christian M for Fat Tire, and as I brought the beer in and set it in the kitchen, stacked on top of each other - all I could think about was Pete standing in the Lobby at the Drury Sunday morning after the wedding with the same beer stacked at his feet. Of course he was telling me that if Hicks didn't come down and take it from him then he was going to give it away. It's weird, but again, I don't know who brought it or what, but I will always remember Pete lugging that around that morning, just for Zach to have a taste of Cinci. There are very few people in this world that are as true as Pete - truly a blessing for all of us.
