Every morning I wake up I thank God for his many blessings. He has been so good to me and my family. Yesterday a great man of God passed away. Although I wanted to cry...I couldn't. I could only think of how he is no longer in pain and is resting in God's arms. I believe that yesterday their was a celebration in heaven.
Mr. Dennis Willis was the Minister of Music at my church. He was also the man who taught me how to play the piano. He was the father of my childhood best friend. He was also a man who loved without question and gave without care. He was a man who lived and loved life.
I remember the day he told me I was the worst student he ever had (he didn't mean it). I guess he knew that would light a fire under me. From that day forward I didn't do anything but practice the hardest piece for my 10 y/o mind. I wanted to impress him. I wanted him to be proud of me. I wanted to be the best. I mastered the piece and many more over the years.
Thank you Mr. Willis for being a man who cared...about me and so many others.
