Well, not because of the time of year, I know it doesn’t help, but because a friendof mine that passed away unexpectedly a few months ago, has me a little teared up today and missing my sisters and mother.
The friend worked for the same company I do and that’s how I met him. I didn’t have a lot of time with him in person, most of it was spent over the phone repairing cell sites and stuff. One of his best friends, actually a guy so close they were like brothers, found a bunch of pictures of him and put them on Facebook for the rest of us to enjoy. Earlier this week in our East Region meeting, the Director for that region had a photo he shared at the end of his presentation for us to remember him. I looked around the room and you could tell those that knew him and those that didn’t because it was pretty emotional. That man touched a lot of lives and was such a good person to everyone he met.
You couldn’t forget Donnie Bolton. He was outgoing and just did whatever was needed for anyone to be taken care of in anyway. He was so unselfish and loving.
And the pictures you can see it. He was everywhere and loved his life and made sure everyone around him felt the same way when he was there. IF you were down, you wouldn’t be long because he wouldn’t allow it and no matter what you were down about, he had a fix for it.
Seeing him in the pictures with the kids and just enjoying his time with them treating them like they mattered and not just after thoughts. He would play and sit and talk with them until they both fell asleep.
We miss you Donnie and your affect has made me miss my family even more than before. I hope my sisters and brother are okay and getting their lives back some how. I miss you and wish you well.
Love Little Jimmy
