Dear Shawn, I can not find the words to say how I felt when I found the myspace dedicated to you. My heart sank to know you left this world in 2006 and I never knew. I met you in summer school in 2002 and couldnt stop smiling till I had to go back to SC that winter. I had a dream the other night, about when you took me up the mountain to really see the snow beacause I had never seen it before it was such a beautiful night. That was a few years ago now and though I left shortly after that we...

Uncle Shawn,
An entire year has flown by, and weeks after one year has passed I find myself writing this letter to you. I celebrated my 17th birtday last month, 11 days before you died was my 16th. The week before prom all the juniors had to go to a drunk driving assembly. The woman's daughter died. I couldn't stand to sit there. You can't imagine how hard it is to listen to someone so strong, when I feel so weak. I wish you were there with me. It's still so hard to believe that you're...

I've been thinking of you so much these last few days. Mom, Kathy and Bill are together in Rochester sharing this difficult moment with each other during what would be a time for celebration of your birth and I feel like an outsider and alone in my thoughts of you. I know you would want me to laugh rather than cry but it seems tears are but seconds from rolling down my checks at any given moment. I went to church on Good Friday by myself. I don't know what came over me, one minute I was...

“They say it's your birthday...”
I want to write something clever in here because I wish you could read it. But I know you know how I feel. Because I feel it every time I hear someone else strum a guitar. I try not to wallow in it because I know you definitely wouldn't want me to. But today is your birthday and yesterday was mine. We spent so many birthdays blowing out candles across from each other, with our family singing around us. I look so fondly at those times. I am so glad that...

Shawn, I will forever remember you. When Aaron and I were in NY, we came to visit. I wish we had more time, we would have visited more. I'm due to have the baby in March and you will be the godfather. Our child will know who Shawn Wells is! I just wanted to take some time out of my day to give you my love.

Shawn,
I can't believe you've been gone for almost 6 months now. It still seems that it happened only yesterday. Its been so hard lately, it was this time last year that we were so close. My birthday's just not going to be the same without you. I'm not going to have my morning wake up call so that you can be the first one to tell me happy birthday, your not going to be there to escort me around the bars, and worst of all i'm not going to be able to wake up next to you the next day. I just...
