I Miss My Friend Today

I miss my friend, Troy, today. He and I hung tight for several years here in southwest Atlanta learning what it means to be men and husbands and fathers and creatives. We dreamed and hoped, created and grew, laughed and cried, triumphed and failed… together.

He and his precious family moved to Ohio last year. I try not to think of the distance, but every once and a while I do. This evening I did, so I put on some of his old music. If you haven’t found it, you should check out his most recent album, Songs to Pray By. But I reached back before that to be reminded of dreams forgotten. Here are 6 songs that spoke to me.
