Rev's Greatest Challenge

All I have to say, I won't be before

You long. We started out young

And innocent. Football was the love of my life until I met this soul beautiful church going woman. This is my greatest challenge yet putting my heart out for someone I love. All the hits in football does not compare to this one. She did not think much of my first impressions but when this Daddy's Girl heard her father and I went on and on about sports and made bets on teams, I was right sometimes and he was right sometimes. She saw me then shining like I saw her like my sweet and dear mother. When we got married, we waited to have children and when we finally agreed. We tried and cried and laugh together. That child, our child died within her and she developed the illness that brought us here today. As the good book says and we can only hope that our works does not go down in vain, the children remember her and everybody standing here today remember. It's alright you shed a tear, here or there or in your moment of weakness or time of despair. She would be glad at her legacy. And be happy for the time you spent with her, those precious memories. ​

And Rev walk away in tears as he eulogized his wife of many years.

He did so because it was his wife's last wish. And the church all sung the old Spiritual, Precious Memories as they carried her coffin. Rev hugged all those children and their parents and their friends. As they travel to the gravesite, Rev remember the last words of his wife she said, I have looked over Jordan and I have run this race. I am finished. I have finished this life.

And Rev repeated those words with tears steaming down and finally said, She got home and you will if you believe. We will see all our loved ones again.

Rev remember that day like it was yesterday and how the sun hid behind the clouds that day and refuse to shine bright only giving gentle warmth from a distance.
