In Memory of
Aaron Havenga April 2, 1975 ~ November 20, 1994
Driving late at night,
still a long way
from our destination.
Very few cars
on this remote highway.
I'm playing
some of his favorite music
from the Grateful Dead
inside the warm cab of my pickup,
while driving through
the cool, Colorado rain.
Driving into the future,
I feel like these headlights,
and even though I strive,
I cannot see everything
that may be out there.

Yes, that feeling.
April 2nd is also the birthday, of my first wife, who died in 1991.
Blessings to you, Richard.
