Samuel Travis Seales

As I stayed up all night and cried my heart out, I watched the sun come up and I knew that I was supposed to be stronger than this or at least grieve with more hope than I was at the time. I called his voicemail several times, just to hear his voice one last time. The only thought going through my mind at the time was, I didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye. The finality of the moment was devastating, I couldn’t be at the funeral physically but spiritually I was all there. I know that he is in a better place but that refuses to sink into my heart & mind. At the moment, all I feel is a hurt so deep that I don’t even know what to do. I waited and I prayed, for strength, for comfort, for wisdom, for the right words when I called his family. The Lord came through for me as He always does and I was calm but for a moment as I spoke to his family. Once I was done, the torrent of tears started again and it physically hurt me to cry but I am glad I had that moment to say goodbye in my head, in my heart you will forever stay.
R.I.P. Travis, I miss you already but I trust we will be together again in glory someday as the Lord wishes.
