I wish that I would had known that the last time I saw you, just like a couple months back, was gonna be the last time I saw you, in this life at least. It was the first time we had seen each other in a long LONG time, YEARS actually. Which through out the years, no matter what, if it was 5 days or if it was 5 years, whenever we ran into each other, it was always the same. You was Always the same person. It was like nothing different, just pick up where we left off, I guess you could say. You was always you, regardless. But I just SOO wish that I would had known that it would be our last time hanging out here on earth. I’ll see ya when it’s my turn and the good lord brings me home. Love you brother!
One of my most cherished complements I have yet to ever receive in life came from you… We hadn’t met but a few times yet, through our conversations till that point, you stopped and told me that I was one of the most honest, truth speaking people you had ever met. Please know that I don’t say this just because you are gone, but bc since that moment I knew good people always find good people. And it made me have the upmost respect for you as a person. People didn’t have to know we were great friends, we both knew it and felt it from each other. And I hate to know you were taken from so many and from being the amazing person I always sow and knew you were. Your name is a name I feel honored to standby by, back up, and be a part of and i know we will meet again.. much love….. Becca-boo
