Annual Reflection

We miss you. Your fierce personality, your ability to literally love everyone at first site. You had your own beliefs and never once asked others to follow you although many did. You were soft and squishy inside which was seen by a select few you chose to show. You were funny and compassionate. There was no animal that crossed your path that you didn't take in and love completely. We miss you.
You felt like you didn't fit in so you changed that. You fit in where you knew how. You did what you could. You tried everything you could. You felt alone in a world full of people. Your family couldn't help. Your friends couldn't help. No one could help the pain inside go away ... except ... You constantly tried. Tried with ... tried without. Nothing did what you wanted it to. Nothing. Yet you smiled and laughed from time to time. You helped others when you thought they deserved it. You fought for the underdog. You never snitched. You always saw the good in people. You are a phenomenon. Your life was short here on earth but you did more than a lifetime's worth of living. Albeit a life that others may question, I do not. It was a life you chose to live and make the best of. You were ready to try life without. You were ready and willing to make the hard changes in front of you. God decided you needed to leave here and be with Him. I always felt you were destined for greatness. And now you are surrounded by greatness in God and family passed on before you. You are released from the burden of worldly suffering which you endured with a proud stance even in total darkness. You are thought of every day. You are loved every day. You are missed every day. Your soul lives on and we are in waiting to be with you again. Happiness is in the eye of the beholder ... you lived in your own happiness. No one is to judge the beholder. Just Behold happiness.

Loving you always, from your family.
