Travis Osborne is one of a kind, and it’s for all of the right reasons ! The day that it became apparent was when we were hosting our third banquet of five, and he couldn’t attend because his Kiddo had a travel volleyball tournament that same day. Yet, Travis took the time to both create and frame the certificate above and then deliver it on his way out of town.
There is a bond between us that can best be explained by irrelevance in the grand scheme of things. It dates back to a lengthy phone call that took place one day as I just started my two hour drive down to Appalachian State University to announce a field hockey game.
Every morning, Travis takes the time to select and send me a scripture from the Bible for our Morning 🌄 Brew. Without fail and it’s not because of a bank roll of cash that finds its way to his mailbox.

Fun little song 🎵 and please know that Travis checks in, even when there is zero to minimal benefit to it ! The very definition of being a friend, that’s what that is. Dawn, or Mrs Osborne, welcomes the time we get to spend together because it gives her a break from being responsible for him.
Whether he is painting the middle school Dugouts or fixing my goofs around our house, he does it with both knowledge and grace, a rare combination to possess. Here is six days we will head over to Durham for the Duke – North Carolina football game ( I hear that those two schools play basketball too ) and I won’t care if he wears the opposite color of blue..
