today is the 5 year anniversary of my sweet friend teresa's senseless death. she's been on my mind all week. today we shared stories about her. how, the first time we met her alexis asked "why do you smell like coffee and laugh all the time?"
nail on the head, there lex, nail on the head.
we talked about how she would laugh and clap when something was funny. and about how she loved her food. she'd "mmmmmmm" as she ate anything yummy.
we remembered our late nights at the drive-in in her little black convertible saab (double feature, yo!) and the time the kids spilled gogurt on her white carpet and got banned from gogurt for a few years. in their defense, and she took her part of the blame, she shouldn't have used bleach on her carpet to try to clean the said gogurt, but still.
we talked about how she'd always say "you fly, i buy," whenever we wanted fast food, and cheering her on during her softball games. and the nicknames. oh, the nicknames! with a last name like butz, you know they were good!
i think of her often. she loved life and loved having fun. she was a really good person and died in a really brave way.
i miss that girl.
John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
