Last night I discovered that I’d lost an old friend. A friend that has traveled many miles with me over many years. We’ve been hand in hand on more occasions that I can count. It really saddened me when I realized they were gone.
You see I’ve depended on them. I’ve trusted them. On a couple of occasions I’ve trusted them with my life. They’ve had my back from day one. I took good care of them and they took good care of me. Obviously had I taken better care of them they would still be with me.
This friend was sharp. This friend always had a shine to them. They always did exactly what I wanted them to do. You just can’t ask for anything more than that now can you?
Now the process begins for me to find a replacement. I don’t look forward to it. I keep hoping that they truly aren’t gone. I keep hoping that I’ll find them. I keep hoping they are simply hiding from me. Unfortunately I doubt any of this is true.
And so it begins. I am embarking on a journey of discovery. A journey to replace this trusted tried and true friend. I’m not sure where I’ll start the search. It must begin soon though. You see…….a man really needs a good knife.
