Derek Shakespeare

It was hard to even find the strength to get out of bed when you first left; you were my little brother. Although you are gone, I'll make sure you're never forgotten. Since day one. Thank you for existing.

Derek and I used to be very close friends. I still remember going to pick him up right after school and driving around with him while he would LOUDLY sing Justin Bieber songs to me just because it made me laugh. He was there for many of my hardships in life and I wish I could have been there for his. I really hope he found peace in the afterlife. He was a big goofball with an even bigger heart and heaven just got one more well deserved angel. I am forever blessed for the time I spent with you...
