Lunch yesterday with my best friend from childhood. Talking about a wide range of subjects but like usual it gets to our parents at some point. His Father, my Father and Mother all who have passed away. Tonight though, I can't help but think that one of us is likely going to have to attend the other's funeral at some point in time. Do all friends eventually go through this thought process as they grow older?
Possibly this thinking was brought on by watching on television, bits and pieces of the Celebration of Life that took place yesterday in Portland for Jerome Kersey. In seeing Darnell Valentine talk about his friend. Those early and mid-1980's Blazer teams sometimes seem like they are just a few years removed. I tend to think of them as from different ...... well not eras but different periods of the Blazers history. One period that preceded the other. I forget though that some of them were teammates for a few overlapping years until they start sharing their stories.
