Dear Shawn C.,
I love you. I can't believe you're gone.you were such an amazing person and I'm so grateful for EVERYTHING you've done for me. Thank you for loving Desiree. She really needed you and she still loves and adores you. I miss you so much and i still cry for you. Please watch over me from way up there, I'll never forget you...

i find it better and easier to look myself in the mirror by spending time with the people who are stil here. caring about them and not making the same mistake. i do community service and donate and walk for cancer whenever i can. actually, i will walk for any disease... so long as i am helping someone else.
