Three years ago today I was one week away from getting married. Three years ago today my best man drowned saving his girlfriend from a kayak accident. It’s kinda weird knowing that for the rest of my married life that Micah died exactly one week before I got married.
His mother did a very noble thing when she received his life insurance money – she created a scholarship in his honor. She was nice enough to add me as one of the trustees of the scholarship. Well, today of all days, I received in the mail a thank-you card from this year’s winner. I thought the timing was pretty special.
Once a year I read the eulogy I gave for Micah. It’s below if you want to know what he meant to me. Yeah, I still miss him, but thankful that he made me into a better man.
