On the surface at least it would appear that this should be a very good week for me. Later this week I will be cashing the largest check I have ever received for selling a property. Sweet. Big house, country property that had lots of interest from the day the listing came out. Accepted an offer and went into escrow very quickly. The escrow has gone smoothly and the buyers will be signing docs this week. Money will be transferred on Tuesday and my seller will have his check Wednesday or Thursday. I should be dancing in the streets.
I'm not.
The nearly complete transaction is for the home of a good friend. Someone who for a number of reasons is easy to like and easy to respect. He has served both his country and community with honor and dignity. Now he is moving from the left coast to the right coast. He is doing it for family and when he arrives he will find ways to help others and become an early morning fixture at whatever local coffee shop is there. The people there will find him to be a friendly guy with interesting stories to tell. Those who really get to know him will be honored to call him friend.
We have had our going away dinner (he has had many in the last few weeks) and I will miss my friend.
