My Thoughts

kevin was the most understanding, kind, fun, awesome person i ever knew... he hung out with me when there was absolutely nothing to do, when i had absolutely no friends, and he drank with me when even homer simpson himself wasn't drinking.
 
i met kevin and thought that he was the exact replica of the guy from kids in the hall... little did i know that he would be one of my greatest friends ever.
 
we had such a different friendship than anyone i ever became friends with. i could trust him so much and i knew that he would help me out sometimes even more than my own friends (that i knew since i was little) would help me out.
 
when batman got hurt, kevin stayed home from doing anything and sat with him while i went to work because i couldn't get off. he cared so much about a dog that wasn't even his, that he would hand feed him, just to make sure he ate. that's the kind of friend he was.
 
i know me and kevin weren't best friends and we didn't know each other for as long as other people, but kevin was one of my greatest friends and life without him just wouldn't be the same. he was so easy-going and great and i know, just as well as many, that he is looking down on us and smiling a mile wide. i know that no friends will ever have the same friendship we had.
 
i wish i was there the day that he died to tell him what he meant to me and i know that i can always talk to him in my prayers and conversations, and i know that when i ask him a question in either my prayers to him or conversations with him it never goes unanswered. 
 
he reminded me, with his death, that we shouldn't take life for granted. i know that this isn't the best thing to bring up, but it's what's in my heart. i feel that in his life he brought so many likely as well as unlikely people together, and in his death those people remain to be friends whether they like it or not. (i know everyone likes it, though).
 
nobody will ever duplicate him or his amazing times with all of us, which is why i believe his life as well as greatness lives on everyday within each one of us and our stories of him throughout his great life.
i miss him so much and as each day goes by i feel my relationship with him is getting stronger and stronger. he helps me through everyday life and i know he laughs at me when i say or do something silly just like he always did.
 
i am so sad that i didn't get the chance to take a picture with him or spend more time with him, but i am so happy for the time i did have with him and that everyone else did get the opportunities i didn't because i know that he valued all of our lives as well as friendship so much and was so happy that we were part of his life. a picture is worth a thousand words, but memories can and will last a lifetime.
 
kevin you are always with us.
