My sweet friend

Today, I just want to share a little tribute to someone who was truly a lovely person in every sense. We made so many good memories together—those random phone calls where he’d share his day, his fun ideas about aliens, and all the plans he had for his future businesses. He was just such a genuinely lovely soul who could turn the everyday into something special. I miss him dearly, and I’ll always hold those memories close. His warmth and kindness will stay with us forever.

To my sweet boy

Time has gone by without you in this world…time that has missed you during so many happy moments…so many blessings… I think of you daily…talk to you in the quiet moments and reach so often for my phone to tell you something. You entered my classroom as one of my students so many years ago, and in the years since then, grew to become my friend. I always told you that you were one of my babies and I meant it. You made me beyond proud to be your teacher and even prouder to be called friend. I was and am so proud of all you accomplished. I know that you are shining down from above, watching, guiding and loving each of us. I see you in the beams of sunlight, the butterflies go by, the bikes revving past, and it reminds me each day to love life for every moment. In this race of life, you finished far before any of us were ready. I miss you and all of our conversations. Godspeed my sweet boy. 🛸💫🦋
