Joe

There is Joe’, Julia said pointing to the other side of the road as she got down from the car.

For a brief few seconds I thought there was someone standing on the other side of the road; someone we both knew.

I knew Joe. Joe was a man who changed the course of my life in many ways. He was a wonderful man I never met.

Joe would have been a happy man to see me in his part of the world today. Perhaps he could not have even imagined that I would ever pass by the place where he now lay in peace.

Joe passed away some nine years ago. Continue to rest in peace, Joe!
