Never Knew

A year ago today I woke up anticipating the day ahead.
I never knew it would become one of the worst ones of my life.

A year ago today I headed out to meet up with my family.
I never knew that later part of my family would be broken.

A year ago today I was sharing laughs with friends and loved ones while walking the city streets.
I never knew that at that same moment someone I cared for was hurting.

A year ago today I was celebrating my cousins senior year by taking her pictures in downtown Decatur.
I never knew that someone I held close to my heart was being rushed to a hospital around the corner.

A year ago today I received a random phone call.
I never knew that phone call would change my life forever.

A year ago today I spent the first of three nights in the intensive care unit.
I never knew that it was the beginning of the end.

A year ago today I sat holding the hand of a dear friend begging him to pull through, if not for me than for his son.
I never knew that that would be the last time I saw him breath on his own.

Life moves fast and waits for no one.
Never take it or the people you hold near for granted.

Sweet Amy the love in your heart consumes me through this note. May God bless little Luke all the days of his life. It will be hard without his daddy. But, his daddy in heaven, both of them, will shine down on his face forever. Thinking of all of you.
