I've been thinking about you, a lot recently. Chelsea goes and walks Jennie everyday, I think. I've gone a few times, but they are so darn hyper and fast sometimes I just can't keep up! I think they go running just to make me mad and have to catch up, making me run after them in my flip-flops and the rain...but it's worth it. Every time I come to your house now, I'm sorry I never made it there before you passed. it would have been fun to walk Jenny with you, but I guess now I don't have that chance...but I know you're there with us anyway. Your dad's been offering up the hot tub every time Chelsea and I come by...I think we might have to take him up on it, haha. I know you'll be there with us too.
I saw this quote today and it made me think of you.
"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."
and it's right. the memories of you will continue. for me, for your family, for each and every one of your friends.
there is this girl at school, I do not know her name or her grade or anything about her. All I know is that I pass her almost every day after 6th period and I see her, and from far away, man she looks just like you, it's astounding. But close up...you two are nothing alike. Isn't perspective funny? But, you of all people know that. You had such a grand perspective on life, you must have to still been so happy despite everything.
have fun up there, okay? Love you buttercup.
