Well, you've seen the link at the bottom of my posts for a couple years now inviting you to "Meet Mason". This little guy is the nephew of my good hunting and fishing partner Andy, and his dad is a great friend as well, even if he is the hardware-fishing-for-bass type. I knew Mason's dad Eddie first, and we became friends to the point that their entire extended family is like our own family. We do everything together. Not just fishing and hunting, but we attend and serve at church together, play music together, work together, rodeo together, and just plain hang out together.
Tomorrow we get to attend services for Mason together. We lost him last week at the tender age of 3. Of all the things we've done as extended family, this is the one I want to do the least. Mason meant so much to us, and while this is not unexpected, it is tremendously difficult.
Maybe this post isn't terribly ff related, but I hope that as my friends you'll understand. I'm sure you will because you have always been right there beside those who are down, regardless of circumstance.
So if you remember to say a prayer for the Jenkins family tomorrow, please do. If you get a chance to hug your kids and tell them you love them, please do. Take the opportunity while it's there.
-- T.
