Today I learned of the passing of a high school classmate. His wife and a few other family members all attended the same high school as me. I didn't know him very well, but I had a couple classes with him over the years. From What I did know of him he was the kind of guy who's light shined so bright it was like his own personal sun. He was the life of the party, the one everyone wanted to know. He was nice to everyone and incredibly funny. Him and his wife were high school sweethearts. They spent the last 15 years loving each other. Through that love they had 2 beautiful daughters. His light and love will truly be missed by all who knew him.
Sitting here thinking about him and the lose his family is going through makes me think back to two years ago when one of my best friends lost her husband. The pain she went through and the questions she never got answers to. The pain of the loss was the same, but the circumstances different; One was a medical condition the other was not. Over the time I helped my friend grieve and plan her husbands funeral, I thought a lot about the life of my own husband. When you marry someone you promise to love them for the rest of their life, But what none of us knows is how long that life will be. No one ever expects to bury a husband young, Yet two young wife's have had to do so now. These men were hard workers and loved their families. It's not right that four young children will not get to have their daddies watch them grow. Three daughters won't get to dance with their dads at their weddings. With a heavy heart and many prayers for this family and my other friends family too, I can't help but hold onto my husband a little tighter and cherish every moment I have with him, however many more that shall be.
May the loved ones of both men find peace and cherish the thought that their loved one is now in the arms of angels.
