Surreal..

I drove back to Lynchburg last night after your funeral. All I could think, “Is this honestly real?”Yesterday is a blur to me. I sat on the steps of the church you grew up in.. And spoke with the people that were with you when you passed. The only way to describe how I felt is surreal. I know these people were just like me, but I believe they could have also been angels. They explained how the last day they shared with you came after two weeks of rain, But not that day, there was sunshine. As I drove in silence, surreal. I was there physically, but my mind was a constant flashback of growing up. You were a gentle soul that took simplicity to another level. You were caring and it didn’t matter I was younger; you still took the time to know me. You gave so much peace to this world. You were more then just a person people knew, you were a person people wanted to know. You have taught us all so much about what it means to take others into consideration. Thank you for that. You were a person that was not afraid of change and you took things in stride. You became a leader of many without ever knowing it. You were an “old soul” in a young man's body. You were an adventurer in your own way and you have challenged us, the ones you have left behind, not only to daydream.. But to live life unafraid.
