Today I found out that a man I knew who I called a friend passed on. I don't have many friends but Bill W. was one.
As I write this my eyes fill with tears, tears of sorrow and of joy. Sorrow for I now have lost a friend, someone who was very dear to me and tears of joy for now Bill is with our Lord Jesus Christ. Although Bill and I kept in touch via email and a few phone calls here and there, we would hook-up every so often to have lunch just to talk of old times and share some time together. I realized something might be wrong when I did not hear from Bill and received no answers from sent emails, phone messages also went unanswered. I curse myself for not following up sooner, however, it matters not as when our Lord whispers into the ear "it's time to come home my child" who are we to question.
Bill, all I can say is I love you buddy, I'll miss you.....
