"Sometimes You Just Need a Friend"-
To Spencer From Rocky 2018
Towards the end of November, I noticed an elderly man sitting alone in the last pew in church. I had seen him before, but never had any thoughts about it. My mom also noticed the same thing. I had the thought to go and sit by him, but I was kind of nervous to. I thought "Whats the worst that could happen" as I walked over in the middle of church and sat right next to him.
I introduced myself, he did the same. I found out that his name was "Gerry" and that he was one of the most friendliest people I have ever met, and he is also a veteran. Every Sunday since Gerry has sat by me and my family. I came to find out that his kids have moved away, and his wife is not a member. I think that would be super hard to be in that same situation, and I am so glad we became friends.
On Christmas Eve, our family also made my dad's famous lasagna, and delivered some to Gerry. He was so stoked!
Spencer... I know that moving around the world makes it really difficult to find friends. But I hope that everybody knows that you are the sweetest, most welcoming, and happiest kid I have ever met. I am so glad you were able to find awesome friends in Omaha, and never be afraid to be yourself around other people, because the right ones will love you no matter what. I love you, Rocky
Aww this is so sweet Rock! This totally is him. He always wants to make sure people have a friend and he loves having friends too. Thank you so much!!!
