Closure

This past weekend was a weekend of many firsts and lasts. On Friday, I had the opportunity to lead the youth group for the first time. Well, not exactly lead since I really didn’t do much but share a little bit of my feelings and pressed play on the video. Two of the youth came up to me and said that night made their day. If God’s plan was for me to touch one of the kids heart, all my nerves were worth it.

Saturday was Andy’s memorial. I feel like everything came to an end on that day. I no longer have the lingering feeling of “what is next for Andy.” I guess that is what it means to have closure. Even though I will miss him, all my sad feelings are gone. I am just happy that is in heaven. That peace brings a smile to my face actually. He is in a place where there are no suffering, no pain, no worries. WOW! I can imagine him eating, cooking, sharing his jokes and magic tricks, and of course, playing baseball.

So yes, it is time to move on. Time to plan for class!!!! (And to find a new camera)
