RIP Billy Swan
I heard the news about Billy Swan’s passing. I had the pleasure to get to know Billy was he was a student in my class many years ago.
Billy always wanted to make people laugh. He loved to joke around. He was very funny and he liked to make other people happy. Billy was everyone’s friend.
Billy class was a fantastic and fun group. I talked to them about always being honest and they took my words very seriously. One day, Billy and his classmate got into an argument and they called each other names some names. When I asked each student what happened, they told me all the curses that they each had said. Although they saw me as this old woman, I had just started teaching and never heard ANYONE say so many vulgarities together. After they both told me what they said, they laughed because I turned white and I was so in shock. The two of them laughed so much and made me laugh.
Billy loved his parents. And his mother and father adored him.
I haven’t seen in Billy in years, but I look at his Facebook page today and it’s clear he loved his family. Most young men don’t write things like he did on Facebook about his father, stepmother, brothers or sister. You can see he felt content with them. There’s a video he made on Christmas that he wanted to share to show how the Swans celebrated. He’s just satisfied and happy to be in the family. Everyone should know that type of love in their lifetime.
RIP Billy. I’m sure you are making people in heaven laugh. As for me, I can’t stop crying because it was too early for you to go. Until we meet again…..
Prayers for Billy’s family and friends – young guys aren’t suppose to die.
Hugs,
marlene
