dear les,
Tonight I saw you at the UT basketball game... never has there been a more purely FUN game with the Vols laying down a whopin' on the Cats! But running into you was the best part of the night, hands down.
You are the only man I know who has known how awesome my wife is, longer than I have.
You are the only man I know that throws himself into listening like you do.
You are the only man I know that leads with encouragement and ends with encouragement.
Tonight you allowed me to say some things that would ordinarily make most folks freak out. You and I have always been able to connect in a way that MUST be deep speaking to deep, Spirit speaking to Spirit. I really miss our walks on Beechwood. And I really miss what you did tonight by wrapping your arms around me and looking into my eyes and then 90 degrees down into my soul... to speak.
I want to tell your son and daughters how lucky they are to have you for their dad.
But somehow, by them living with you, I think they know.
