WWE Hall of Famer Stacy Keibler paid a heartfelt tribute to
close friend James Van Der Beek, the former Dawson’s Creek
star who passed away yesterday from colon cancer.
Keibler posted a photo of herself sitting next to Van Der
Beek in a wheelchair, watching a beautiful sunset.
“Spending these final days with you has been a true gift
from God. I have never been so present in my life. When you
know time is sacred, you don’t waste a single breath. You
don’t rush. You don’t scroll. You don’t worry about
tomorrow. You sit. You listen. You hold hands. You watch the
sky change colors and you let it change you too,” she wrote.
Keibler added that in the past few days, he taught her more
about being present than any book ever could, showing her
what it looks like to trust in God’s plan, even when the
result was going to break her heart.
“The other night we watched the sunset together as you
shared your wisdom, your hopes, and the promises we made to
each other,” she continued. “We talked about how this world
can feel upside down…and how maybe heaven needs your spirit
now to help steady us down here. And just as the sun slipped
away, a shooting star crossed the sky…as if to remind us
that none of this is random.”
