Hi Big Brother,
It sure is great hearing from you! Thanks for your concerns, prayers and thoughts for me and my family! They mean the world to me at this time, and are helping me to
try to understand a little why this happened.
It has been a rough week, but my faith in God is helping but, I still am questioning why this had to happened! I
would have done anything to have prevented that Sunday of Aunt Sally's passing to not have it come, if I knew what was going to happen. I'm confused but, Holly sure has been by my side to help me through things.
The funeral was nice, and words the minister spoke in the euology Aunt Sally would have liked. They helped me, my uncle (Aunt Sally's husband) and my family to try to cope
with our loss. Drew, Jake and Sean can't believe Aunt Sally is gone. She was like a real aunt to them, and others on the sports teams we played on. We have lost our Number 1
Cheerleader, Big Brother! She's been there ever since we were little kids cheering us on in the games we played, including the Friday basketball game the Sunday before she passed away. I can still hear her cheers that night, and see her standing in the cheer section. I'd give anything to have that night back!! I can't believe Aunt Sally won't be watching me play sports anymore. I, Drew, Jake and Sean and rest of the hoop team made some special wristbands we have been wearing with Aunt Sally's name on them to keep her memory alive.
Speaking of that, over the years growing up when we were younger I, Drew, Jake and I got into some trouble a few times breaking things and we found Aunt Sally having to "correct" us. Although those times were unplesant to four little butts, I would give anything to have those times back!!
I don't know what I would have done this week without Holly. She has been a God sent. I still, however, question God why He thought He needed to have Aunt Sally in heaven with Him. I, my uncle and our family weren't done with her yet here!
Please continue to pray for me and my family. It really helps more then you know. I pray you and your family don't have to go through something like this!
I realize your on vacation from school this week. I hope you and Kala got a chance to enjoy your families and time home? I hope we can talk sports soon, somehow. I left Brooks a message to inquire further what needed to be done when he asked me to join Pro Board but, my message to him didn't get approved or something. Do you know what all needs to be done, what the steps are, etc.?
I want to talk sports with you, and understand your hoop season is over with but, don't want to get into trouble
talking until something can be done so we can? I guess it's okay for to talk about non-sports stuff or isn't? I'm confused with all that has happened this past week, etc., but we had been talking non-sports without getting into trouble or shouldn't we?
I thank you for being my friend/Big Brother. Aunt Sally would have liked you had she know about you. I think maybe she does not in heaven?
I better close for now, enjoy your school vacation. We'll talk more later...
Thanks for sending your condolences. They mean more then you and help me, Big Brother.
You take care, too!
Best always,
Mark (Athlete)
