Billy Joe Hicks

I received news last night of the passing of Billy Hicks. He is my niece's uncle. He was more than that to her..... he was like her dad~ he was alot of everything!

He was this super nice wonderful guy. A loving father, devoted husband, all around awesome human being.
He was perfectly fine on Monday, Tuesday...woke up with flu like symptoms... and later that day passed away.

I can't sleep. I keep thinking about them. I keep thinking about all of us.

I worry about saying stuff sometimes, I don't want anyone to think I am a nut or anything... then something like this happens, and it shows me that it doesn't really matter what people think. For the very fact that I love everyone of you~ I am telling you that you need to make sure that your life is right with God. None of us know the moment that He will call. What better example than the passing of Billy. A man in the prime of his life. A good man, an excellent man, a dedicated man, with a loving family...

I love all of you guys so much, I never want to be without you. Thankfully, God gives us that option. I am living proof of a life being in shambles, and God bringing peace and fixing it all. I just want to put that out there.

I woke up about Three this morning, and have been prompted to be praying for the the loss of Billy and for all of our family. It is now a little after four. I had no plans of writing anything, but I think God wanted more than my silent prayers.
