    With every passing day I think back at our childhood. The Christmases at grandma and grandpas, the weekends we all played, the fishing trips, the snake hunts, the coon hunts. I remember you showing me your seamonkeys you ordered from a comic book. I remember all the times of laughter, the ones jokes. Then I remember the very serious talk we had when it was just you and me in your hospital room..About how you were gonna be healed and use your journey to lead people to Jesus. Well Bud, you couldn’t be more perfect than you are right now. You probably have no idea how many people you brought to a deeper relationship with Jesus. I love you. You have the time of your life up there in glory. Hug everybody and tell them we will all be there in time.
