April 25, 2013

Its been 5 yrs already!
It DOES NOT feel like it!!
Sometimes i think its weird to say we miss him so much now that he's gone,but then its jus like telling him how much we love him as if he were here cuz we always did well I always did?
I'm sad but I love him MORE than I am sad so I REFUSE to let the sad get the best of me becuz I KNOW HE WOULD NOT WANT US TO BE SAD ND CRY FOR HIM!
I think happy thoughts like his LAUGHS ND SMILES???
I honestly think he'd laugh at me for crying or being sad for him?:)
SO I'LL REMINISCE ON OUR UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES THIS DAY INSTEAD OF SIT & CRY THAT HE'S GONE?

I LOOOOOOVE & MISSSS YOU SOOOOOO MUCH ? :'(

Adrian, there isn't a day that passes that you're not on my mind. Words can't describe how greatly you are missed. I'm not surprised that you have a lot of friends and family that love you and miss you dearly; because you are such a great person. Where ever you went your charm went with you. You left many beautiful memories in everyone's heart. Though time has past, i don't think time will heal my heart from your passing. Rest in peace.

Dear Adrian as each day goes by I cant help but think about you each and everyday, wishing we had more time to chat about the good things we have in our life like our familys, and how we're going to raise them with good memories that we have. As each day passes I can tell you that I think of your smooth and suave style that only you will always shine with and know that you are the coolest guardian angel god could ever have. I miss you deeply and will never go another day without thinking of you and praying for you. I love you nephew, godson, adrian. Cant wait to see you again, till then (SANTA FE HOMBRE!!!). Love your tio Juan.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Adrian, I never got a chance to tell you "thank you" for always loving Chelles so much. I know you and Marcellus were as close as a pea in a pod. Thanks for remaining a part of his life even after all these years. You will always hold a special place in our hearts forever and your wonderfull memories will always remain with me and Marcellus. We love you Adrian.

My beloved little brother I want to let the world know the wonderful person you are, although for the fortunate ones who got to know you, and lives you touched they can attest for themselves. Let me let the world know what a wonderful sense of humor you have, truly one of a kind, and all who knew you always seem to point first to how funny you were. You were such a blessing to have in our lives for 23 years, but how much it hurts to not to be able to hold you for at least one last time. I miss you little brother. Let me let the world know what a wonderful father and a loving uncle you are. Truly it is amazing how much love you showed not only to your children but to my son as well, and I don't think I ever got to tell you, but let me tell you now, thank you. Thank you for being the greatest uncle my son could have ever had. He made no secret about it without a doubt you were always his favorite uncle. Let me tell the world that without a doubt you were the strength of the family. No doubt while burdening the problems of this world on your shoulders you would have put yourself in front of harms way before anyone of your beloved family members. That is because you are strong, you are caring, and as I have always told our mother you have such a huge heart. A huge heart I could only wish to have someday. In a world where many of us are guilty of thinking of ourselves first you my brother are one to always put others first. I love you. For all who will ever read this I say to you if you have any brothers or sisters take the time to tell them you love them. If you have any relationship that may not be as close as it once was, just a simple phone call, a simple "how are you doing", "I've been thinking about you lately", because just like my brothers unfortunate passing you never know when a loved one may be taking from us. Honor my brother in that way. I never stopped praying for you little brother and I never will. It is comforting to know you never stopped looking to the Lord, and it is comforting to know He is still there to comfort you, but I think what will continue to bring comfort is now you are there to comfort and look after us all, as we so deeply miss you. On behalf of our father, mother, your son, your daughter, your nephew, your love, my wife, her daughter, and your big brother, we love you Adrian. Always lil bro.

My dear neighbors, sadly I know of no words of comfort that I can offer to you at this time. All I can do is offer you my prayers for peace in your hearts and in your lives. One day you will find that peace and reflect quietly on the life of your son. Pictures will bring back beautiful memories and tears will fill your eyes. Then you will wonder, what if .... But don't keep those thoughts, let them drift away from you and soon you will be at peace. May the Lord bless you both and all those who loved Adrian.
