here we are

This post is a sad one. It's something that we've known could happen someday. Just not so soon. Just not now.

With J's job, he meets a lot of people. Teaches a lot of kids. Coaches a lot of young men.

We knew that someday, eventually, we'd hear of one of his boys passing away.

Tragically, it happened last weekend. It was a boy from this school. One that played for him 3 years ago.

It's too late for Maurice, but his death has left so many other guys hurting a lot right now. So many waiting for words to make it all better. Longing for someone to give them just the right advice to make the pain go away. Someone to make sense of it all. And, these boys were Jason's players, too. They've gathered in his office. Sent several texts. And, hugged him like there's no tomorrow.

And, maybe there isn't. For some people. For us.

So, love today. Live today. And, live intentionally. Love unconditionally.
