I never understood why
he was so worried about school; I mean I was only in the 3rd grade.
He would always be willing to lend me a helping hand with anything,
from schoolwork, to perfecting my wrist shot at 7 am. He would
always be in the roller rink with the same old gleaming contagious
smile on his face. I understand now why he always pushed me and made sure my homework was done. School is everything. In order to play sports you must do your schoolwork. In order to get a secondary education you need to do your schoolwork and study. Every little thing about school that he was making me do was not just to make me miserable, was not just to sound like another adult and push schoolwork into my brain, it was to be the caring individual he was and to look out for the best of me. Now heading into my senior year of High School I understand why he always stressed school before winning a simple hockey, or baseball game. All the days that Bill and I spent together were the best and most memorable days of my life. I feel as though I took many of the times for granted and did not cherish those days and those times that we had. I feel very selfish that I did not take those times to heart and that I took advantage of his knowledge about the real world. |
When he would try to tell
me something about college or about school, I would instantly change
the subject back to my sweet spin move I made to score the winning
goal or to helping me with my wrist shot again. The times that him
and I spent together were great, he made me feel like I was one of
his children, he would do anything for me and I knew he would always
be there.
Ever since he passed away I forgot how much of an impact that he had
on my life. He always told me to make the right decisions and to do
what was right, sometimes I never knew what was right and did not
understand what he meant but now I seem to understand what he meant.
When a new day rises and a new question is presented to me I always
seem to ask the question "What would Bill say?" After the strong
impact that he had on my life all I wanted to do is to make him
proud of my decisions and what my goals were in life.
Bill Thompson was the kind of guy that did not care if you were
rich, poor, slow, fast, black or white, he would always lend a
helping hand. He will never know how much he influenced my life and
how much that I miss him. He has left a lasting impression on my
life. He is always in my heart, and prayers. The hardest thing is
knowing that I never got a chance to say goodbye. "Even though he is
not here, he will never be gone." Bill Thompson is always in my
heart. He definitely left his legacy around the world and will be
missed by many.
