You Will Be Missed

Sarah,

I remember that you made me my first "punk" mix tape in grade 10. I haven’t stopped listening yet.

You bought my Doc Martins from me for too much money ’cause I wanted beer for the weekend.

I remember when you tried to see how long you could go without showering. What was is it, 22 days?

You put an Amnesty International sticker on my wheelchair. It was my first sticker on that chair… that eventually became a huge collection. I kept it for 10 years.

I remember that you never gave a shit about what anyone else thought of you or your friends.

You taught me that if you love what you’re doing, don’t ever stop. That if life was taken too seriously, it’d be missed altogether. And that 22 days is way too long without a shower.

What I’m trying to say is that I remember you and always will. 

Rest in peace, friend…

*closes eyes* … *hugs*.. you know you have friends here.. who care about you.. i’m sure you have many friends who care about you.. 🙂 Speaking of time being too short.. maybe I haven’t said it already.. dont’ think I have.. I think you’re amazing.. I think you are a gifted individual and I respect you.. I mean.. I REALLY respect you.. what you think about, what you spend your time writingabout.. its important.. I’m glad someone is with me here.. 🙂 And your recent hope? Your recent turning of cheeking and looking a different way than you have before (or in a long time) .. its beautiful, for me, to watch.. you keep truckin’ along.. this is a hard month.. hard for everyone.. this was a beautiful entry.. and.. even though i don’t know Sarah.. I can imagine.. how carefree she must have been 🙂
