Last week it was one year since Arlie passed away. I received the nicest message from someone I never did meet. But Arlie did come home from working telling me what a great day he had and that he'd bought two kids a churro.
"Shari.... I have been seeing your posts on Wednesday and can’t believe it has been a year. I frequent Costco (we have 6 kids), and always have my youngest with me.... Karis is now 6 yrs old and just adored Arlie.... he was her favorite part of Costco. This past October 13th we went in and this time we also had my son Dax with us. Karis started getting excited as we pulled up saying ‘yeah, we are going to go see Arlie’.... Dax (who was typically in school when we went) asked ‘who is Arlie’.... and Karis with a twinkle in her eye just smiled and said ‘you’ll see’. Sure enough Arlie was there with a big hug and the teasing and joking started with him and Karis. As we were checking out Arlie came up to me and asked if he could buy the kids a churro with his special Costco gift card. Afterwards the kids wanted a picture with him.... he asked me to make sure I sent it to his special love Shari. Please know how much we loved him, and miss him. I think of him often and look forward to seeing him again in heaven.... he was such a gift to all who let him. You are in my prayers!"
