* friends

I lost a good friend, Peter, last week. Suddenly. Rear-ended on the freeway by a semi. One minute alive, the next gone. It’s been hard. While it had been some time since I’d seen him and his wife, we shared some special years together when we were both starting families back in our Madagascar days.

Many memories from back then. Peter was a very good-natured soul who could find humor in most everything. Life wasn’t always easy for him, but you wouldn’t know it by the way he approached it. And he was gifted. 5 languages, a doctorate, architect. A loving dad and husband (2 daughters).

Peter was a person who always uplifted your spirits.

It is hard knowing he is gone.
