What a sad, emotional, wonderful, fun weekend I just had.\u00a0 A man who was very influential in my life, and the lives of so many people, died last week.\u00a0 He had been my Sunday school teacher and church youth leader, and he and his wife were great friends with Momma & Daddy.\u00a0 Mr. Brooks was just such a special man.\u00a0 As Andy said, luckily we never needed a second father, but if we had, Mr. Brooks would’ve been it.\u00a0 He & Mrs. Brooks lived in Virginia now, but the service was back in Murfreesboro, so early Friday morning Meg & I set out to drive over.\u00a0 We got to town in time to have lunch before the memorial service at Trinity, & then headed on over there.\u00a0 It was wonderful to see the family, of course – their kids were our ages, and some we hadn’t seen since 1980, when the youngest married – and other old friends that we see so seldom any more.\u00a0 When we left the cemetery I went with Andy & Amy, where I was staying for the weekend, and Meg went to do her visiting.\u00a0 Our first stop was this killer Mexican restaurant.\u00a0 Everything was so delicious, and of course the company was over the top.\u00a0 We had a real Murfreesboro weekend – saw and did so many great things – and this was just an amazing way to kick things off.\u00a0 I’m not sure when I’ll be back there, but eating at this place will definitely be on my agenda!\"100_8156\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
