I have many thoughts I'd like to share, but I'll start with the most recent. During New Years Eve service, I happened to look over on the other side of the church to see a handsome familiar face. I tried to get his attention because I was so excited to see him, but he didn't see me. As soon as church was over, I made my way towards him, and he walked towards me with open arms, and that bright beautiful smile. It was Sooooo good to see him. We laughed and talked for a while about school and life, and reminisced about the good old Sports days. I encouraged him to continue striving for excellence letting NOTHING/NO ONE stand in his way. He promised he'd do just that. We hugged one last time, said I love you, take care and departed. If only I knew it would really be the last time, I would have hugged him longer. Thank you for the beautiful memories my dear Bradley. For the love and respect you've always shown me, your dedication and passion for learning off and on the court, your energetic dance moves, and your joy for life. My heart is so heavy, but thinking back on all these things, I cry tears of joy for having had the pleasure of meeting and knowing a wonderful young man like you. Forever in my heart. :'-)
