Crossing Paths

Yesterday, I found out some sobering news.

An old boss had passed. I will call him, John. He would find that funny.


I liked him as a boss. I did not know if he liked me. 
I was fairly new to the field and he had been there a while.

He taught me something very valuable about perception and customer service.
(That's why I was not sure if he liked me as a person.)

I think he gave me a chance because we were both veterans.

Veterans can be stoic and by the book. He knew that I needed to develop some 
survival skills if I were going work in the civilian sector.

He was my sandpaper and I will be forever grateful to him for giving me
a foundation from which I could build.

I don't know if he knew I respected him. I did. 

Did I tell you he was a sniper?
Cool huh? 
I've only met a couple of soldiers that were exceptional with fire arms, he was one of them.

I curtsy to you Sir and hope you are in the arms of Jesus.
