So today is an interesting day for me. I am now preparing myself to go to a funeral. It's the funeral of Byron Bell, a young man that served as a mentor and big brother to me for 4+ years. It's funny, but for the first time, I'm experiencing that "I wish I could have said..." Syndrome. I had not spoken with him in a while. I changed churches last year and didn't really talk to him that often. Now he's with God, and I'm here missing him and allowing myself for the first time to deal with the emotions about it. I'm really trying to learn how to deal with death and those that have a relationship with the son of God. On one hand, I am soo happy and even envy him a bit. On the other hand, I think about those who will miss him, the family and friends left behind who have to learn how to live with the void. God, thank you for Byron Bell! Thank you for the lives he touched! Thank you for the relationships and most importantly, for him having a relationship with you! I'll see both of you on the other side! As you have proclaimed, so shall it be.
PS- if you read this, please keep his wife, 2 little girls , and family in your prayers.
