I remember the first time we hung out as friends. Brit had mentioned that there was a really cool guy I needed to meet. He mentioned a variety of things about you, but I mostly remember him mentioning alligator skin loafers, retro jeans, and vintage costume rentals if I ever needed one. That grabbed my attention. One thing I do know, he was right about you being a pretty neat guy. You introduced me to alligator loafers, and I introduced you to Chipotle burritos. That first conversation on the porch of your store over burritos was one of the most memorable conversations I have had in the last few years. I mean that. I am thankful for you. I can imagine your reaction as I say this (you might smile, you might say thanks, you might kick me in the shin, not sure...), but God has used you greatly in my life to show me the value of people in my life. You do such a great job of valuing others, and I realized that early on. One of your greatest strengths is how you see value in each individual person, regardless of background, upbringing, race, or religion.
Thankful for you, friend---

P.S. I know a burrito is probably not on your wish list, but if it is, you know who to call.
