…pride
he’s just a friend. frankly, not even a particularly great one. i don’t say that to mean that i don’t like the guy… or didn’t before he left for iraq to serve in the us army. i just mean that for as much as i do enjoy his company, we’re not exactly “close” friends or anything.
nonetheless, pictures like this of my friend jay, taken recently from somewhere in iraq, give me an immense sense of pride. i can look at this picture and say; “man, i’m friends with that guy.”
Why yes, you are friends with that guy:) And he’s so happy to be friends with you! He even mentioned that he’d love to visit with you and Ry when he get’s home! I know your encouragement here means so much to him (and me). God bless our troops!
And thank you Shua!
