This post is dedicated soley to the enormous loss my baby brother has had this week. His childhood friend of over 20 yrs was tragically killed yesterday.
His words to me were, ‘ For as long as I can remember my life has had Schmitty in it. ” “I cant beleive he’s gone.”
Schmitty’s last years were a struggle, but I choose not to focus on that. What I want to write about is the value of true friendship and how God puts people in our lives for a reason. Steve and Schmitty were like brothers. Many camping trips, days of fishing were done together. Schmitty was my brother’s best man. Throughout their long friendship they carried one another when they couldnt carry themselves.
Keep Schmitty and his family in your prayers, and of course my brother Steve as well. Here is a pic of them from happier times and one of their favorite songs that Steve shared with me today as we cried and talked of good times..
I beleive Schmitty is at peace now, I just hope those left behind find peace themselves in knowing this.
