View all 161 ReflectionsHey, Bubba...Bubba. I just woke from yet another night terror, yes another about your crash and subsequent demise. I miss working with you. Mostly, I miss you playing with Jimmy when he was in his play crib. You two would look around the room and say to each other" what's that", in a low whisper. I miss our details during bike week. The chases, you taking my Mustang, eating at Skeeters Big Biscuits and working Sebring. You are loved and missed. Rest still My Brother. As Edna said, "Give us a kiss".
