Alex Ware Memoriam

You would have been 20 years old today if you hadn't gone somewhere over the rainbow. Thanks for all the good things you left for us in your writings: Why do we waste so much time? Love is all that matters. Everything else is pretend. Find your center and share your joy. Pass on empathy and hug a stranger. Everything is connected. God's love is not reserved for Christians or mankind. Love is infinite. God is love and love is blind. Heal yourself from the inside out. Mend your wings and believe in freedom. We came from love and it is into the comforting arms of love that we shall once again be embraced by. When life offers you the paved road or the rabbit hole, fall in love. Rediscover beauty. Misspell and write sloppy. Be humble. Look at eyesores. Study what you have and see those who don't. Appreciate every moment you have. It's the (expletive) small things.I have faith in mankind. As I was sitting in my father's Mercedes Benz listening to explicit rap music at full banging volume I looked over into the next car and saw an old woman. I smiled at her. She, to my surprise smiled back. And it was warm and human. For a second I made a connection. Smile at every one you can get to make eye contact . . . ¥ When you choose peace, you honor me. ¥ When you love, know I'm smiling. ¥ When you come together, I'll be there too. -- Alex Sign the Guest Book at www.wacotrib.com

Pat--thanks for telling me about this. He was obviously a very gifted and thoughtful young man and the world could use more of those. When I saw those pictures, I thought I was looking at you! Sure glad we are in touch--Nancyanna

Pat: That picture of Alex reminds me of you. I have no idea what to say at this point in time. I love your husband and through him, I love you. Alex was a meteor in your life - concentrate on the light he shed and continues to shed - the rest is useless.

I lost my oldest son last year due to a drowning accident. I read your son's writing and I cried. What a precious gift you had and will always have. Thank you for sharing this special writing with the public. No one knows the pain of losing a child unless you have been there yourself...I share in your loss but I feel that Alex and my son Scott live in us for eternity. May God continue to give us comfort in knowing that we will see them again.

Pat, Maurice & I just returned from Baton Rouge where we attended their St. Patrick's Day Parade, like a mini-mardi gras. There were about 80 floats all throwing mostly beads, but some other items too. One float threw cups, and one landed near me that was clear and said in silver, "somewhere over the rainbow".
I'll get that and take it to Pat, I thought, but someone else picked it up before me. Thinking of you, and Alex. Love, Charlotte
