I lost a close family member on Thursday.
He was more of a father figure then my uncle, he is my friend, and one that I could go to without any shame. He would always give it to me straight and lead by example over his life.
We would shoot 30lbs of ammo together when it was hard to replace, cook meat and drink a few beers taking about current times and past times. I’d talk to him on the phone just to shoot the bull when it was hard to carve out time to see in person.
I am a very private person but this is a really hard time for me right now.
Wayne, I wish we still had more time together but I know you are in the high heavens with your beautiful bride right now.
I recommend you call the ones close to you and even the ones you may have had issues in the past with. It doesn’t matter because tomorrow is never guaranteed and pride is easily overlooked for love and compassion towards others.
hang in there brother. Time will heal the current pain. Remember the man for what he meant to you. This time on earth is just a waiting room to a glorious place where you will one day be by his side again.
