but that is nothing new

I thought about you yesterday

and days before that too.

 

I think of you in silence

I often speak your name

now all I have are memories

and your picture in a frame.

 

Your memory is my keepsake

with which I'll never part

God has you in his keepsake

I have you in my heart.

 

It has been what seems like a few days since we've last met. September 26th, 2002 was the worst day possible, and still remains to this day. You are missed very much, and even though I'm usually busy, I am thinking of you all the time. I keep a picture of you talking with me, Matt, and Mike up at the campground a few summers ago. My mom has a picture of you when you were in your Gilligan's hat and you had your broom in your hand. I remember that trip we all took to Hampton Beach and we all had to live in that hotel-like room for three days. I remember when I slept in the closet for the weekend by choice because I wanted to prove to Matt and Mike that I wasn't claustrophobic. I remember when you woke up a lot in the middle of the night on that trip, and you slept walk and I think you drank a beer while doing so. I remember you yelled at my brother Chris for me because he woke me up ealry in the morning to tell me that I missed my favorite show. I remember when you and Big Chris went out for a "walk" and came back two hours later and told us that you ate shrimp and clams and such while we were all sitting by the car waiting for you guys. I know there was a lot more, but I can't remember all of it. All I know is that the 5k races have been doing good so far and I know that you would be very proud of Matt and Mike. I can't put it into words how much I and others miss you, but I can only think of you and remenisce of the good days.. nothing will ever be the same without you. I miss you and I love you.

 

Love, forever, 

Megan
