RIP

Well today is the day we say goodbye to you; to lay you to rest. Words cannot express the sadness that my heart feels. I am still having a hard time believing that you are really gone. Last Friday I talked to you just thirty minutes before your wreck. You were kidding with me about OSU…. I could do was roll my eyes and make a joke about them sucking. We were going to “wait and see” how the season went. Now nothing. No waiting. No seeing. Nothing. I wish I had talked to you later. I wish it was different. Maybe if I had kept talking to you, you wouldn’t have been in a wreck. Anything. But now you are gone. The shock from the news was over whelming. The thought of never hearing from you again is heart breaking. No more kidding about OSU/OU. Or you giving me a hard time about the Dallas Cowboys, or my “white legs”. No more brotherly advice on guys. No checking on me or the kids. Nothing. It is all gone. It wasn’t supposed to be like this! It isn’t even fair. The world lost an amazing person. A tender-hearted man. A true hero, not only to this town but also to this country. I know you are in a better place; I know you are in Heaven. You were an Angel on Earth to so many people. Your kindness touched countless lives. The love and support that I have read on your Facebook page is so touchy, truly beautiful that that many people loved you. This world is a better place because of you! I will forever be grateful for your kindness and caring ways towards me and the kids. I will dearly miss you. Thank-you for being my friend for the last 4 years. I wish it had been a lot more, but I am grateful for the years that I did get. So, for you James…. Go Pokes!! I hope they have a hell of season just for you!
