You know… John would appreciate this.
It really sucks that he’s not here to see it.
Yesterday, this came in the mail.

Mail from The White House
Yes, The White House

No street address needed
Today, I opened it. I got the letter opener out for this one. John was always a letter opener type of guy. He’d slowly and methodically sit down and open his mail. Me… I was a stick a finger in it and open it type of gal. Opposites attract, what can I say.

Condolence letter from President Barack Obama
John didn’t get excited about a lot of things. It wasn’t his nature, but I know he’d be pretty thrilled with this one! Kind of like when Barbara Mikulski personally spoke to him on the phone to tell him about Community Fire Company of Rising Sun being awarded the fire grant that he had written.
Wish he was here to see it.
What an awesome man!
