We lost something in a big way this week.
A mischievous smile. A presence. A contagious laugh. To us, he was an uncle. To others, he was much more. A best friend, a son, a brother, a father, a grandfather, and a husband.
I am incredibly close with my future in-laws; it would be almost impossible not to be. They are a huge family that is just about as tight-knit as you could ever imagine. My heart broke for them on Sunday morning as we got a devastating phone call that no one ever wants to get.
We lost someone so very special to us, but Heaven has another angel. Rest in peace, Uncle Billy, and watch over us until we see you again.
