After the accident, some of your friends made some pretty
sweet t-shirts. They said, “It’s All Good”, with a word describing you and
Seth on the back. Strong. Unswayed. Kind... My next few posts will be based on those words – all the words
I know you want us to be.
The first –
strong. To say that you were strong is an understatement. You were Suggs
Strong. And in every way. You were super athletic. You were the first person
I’d ask to play sports with me when I was bored. We’d pepper the volleyball in
the front yard daily. When I started cheering on the junior high team, you and
I had a toetouch contest. I’m sad to say you won.
But you
weren’t just physically strong. You taught me to be strong mentally and in my
faith. You and Mom took everything that life threw at you and threw it right
back. Nothing could slow you down.
“But the Lord is with
me like a mighty warrior.”
Jeremiah 20:11
So as
things get tougher and tougher, as we struggle to keep it together without you
here, I remind myself to stay Suggs Strong. Just like you.
Love, Bubba
