Josiah David and Wesley David

Today I went to the best funeral I've ever attended.
Ever.

It was for Josiah DAVID Berger.
A lot like Wesley DAVID Speight.
They seemed to have a lot of similarities.

They said Josiah had a theme:
"Live Like There's No Tomorrow!"
From all I could tell.......that's how he lived.

Last week he told his Dad, Steve Berger, minister at
Grace Chapel Leipers Fork.....
"Sleep is a complete waste of time"

Over and over again he would tell people.....
"Have Heart."
He apparently had a LOT of it.

I wish I had known this great young man.
He shares a middle name with another great young man,
my son Wes.
Wes lives with the same fervor and zest that Josiah did.
I wish they had met.

Josiah died on his 19th birthday.
After a ugly car wreck.

I wish I could hug Wes right now.
Or Josiah for that matter.

I know we will see him again.
I will meet him.........some day.

Until then.......today's funeral taught me a lot.
About life.
And Love..........
