We love you, Will!

TTT's swim coach was murdered on Friday night. I can't stop crying. What a great man. He loved God, loved his wife, daughter, step-son. He was a hardworking man.

Today, I was annoyed with him, I'd been leaving him messages and he hadn't called returned them. I thought maybe he hadn't paid his cell bill, so I called his wife to get a hold of him and instead the news that greeted me was this.

Pray for his wife, his parents, his children.

When I was crying in the car, Jory said to me, "Don't cry, Mommy. You'll see him in heaven." Out of the mouth of babes.

I'm sad, but rejoice in knowing that I will see him again. And I feel very blessed that for the last five years he was a part of my family's lives.

I talked to his widow again tonight and she warned me that she was going to break down when she saw the kids, because Will really loved them and bragged about them to everyone. They were his kids. He loved them and was so proud of them. I feel bad that the baby and Rowan might not remember him as the years pass. But I'll do what I can to keep the memories alive.

God is good all the time. All the time God is good. While I cry for our loss, Will is having the best Christmas ever spending it with the birthday boy who was born in Bethlehem.
