Deborah asked me a question today when I got home from church (she was unable to go today). She said, "Was it weird not seeing Peter and Lauren in church today?" And I said, "Yeah" in my tough guy answer veneer.
But between me, and the 4 of you that read this blog it was weird not seeing two people that have been a staple of Refuge and The Well. I thought of them a couple of times today, hoping that they were going to walk through the doors, but that never happened. I have known Lauren since she was 13, and Peter has become a good friend. I truly missed them today.
I know Kole is upset too. He asked me today to do all the things Peter would do with him before the church service started. But, I was unable to wheel him around on the chair-dollies like Peter.
The good news is Redding is on the I-5 life-line between Portland and everywhere south of here, so they will be by from time to time. Which is better than nothing, and I do expect one Sunday at The Well to see the both of them walk through the doors, even if it is only for a short visit.
yah... I miss them. Road trip to Portlan?? Haha. Hope your well man.

It WAS "weird". Good to read Lauren's blog today though. It will be good to give them a hug when they come back to visit!

thanks for the wonderful words Todd we truly will miss you. YOu have been such a huge part of both mine and Laurens life, thank you. I am also hoping to get a phone call someday telling me that you are on your way through Portland and wondering if we could go to lunch.
