The breakfast group

The breakfast group started larger, but dwindled over the years to three men. Gary Glenn, Dan Horn and Tyler Stephenson. You will remember that Dan was my co-writer of this blog... Lions Den Man. The breakfast club was a place where jokes were shared, hearts were opened, new ideas tossed about. Everything was real. And I was invited to join the group anytime that I could.

I moved to Florida. Dan passed away suddenly 2 years ago. Gary moved to New Mexico.

I can speak for Tyler, Gary and myself that we all miss Dan so much. Gary sent me a text the other day to that effect and attached this song. Drowning, by Chris Young

Here are the lyrics...

Still got your number in my phone
And even though you don't wanna listen
I still call and wait till the tone
Just to hear you saying "Leave a message"
Since you've been gone I've had to find
Different ways to grieve
There's days that I don't even want it on my mind
But tonight I'm awake

So I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself, I can't help, that all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say, missin' you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning

Yeah I know you're in a better place
And one day I'll see you again
But it's killing me we can't be face to face
I miss my best friend

So tonight I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself, I can't help, that all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say, missin' you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
Yeah tonight I'm drowning

I know it's a part of life
But I wasn't ready to say goodbye

So tonight I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself, I can't help, that all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say, missin' you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
Yeah tonight I'm drowning
