Tio....

Tonight is the first dance i've danced, since you've been gone Tio. Tonight is the first night i've laughed and cried since you've been gone. It didn't hurt me to laugh knowing that you're gone. I danced for you, but i saved our song because i couldn't give it to anyone else. Tio Eddie taught me some steps that you didn't teach me yet and i wish you were there to see me. I know it's kinda hard watching from above but if you could've just been there, you would've been proud. I was turning and hooping and twisting for you. All mami said was "There goes Tio Ralphy." I find it silly that i'm actually having a conversation by myself to you ; no one reads this thing anyway. I miss you. Mami, tio, and me.... we all danced and played for you tonight. No matter the circumstances you always knew how to have a good time. I don't think anyone really knows how i feel since you've passed, but i'm hurting very much. I cry because i want to speak to you, but i know if you were here you would be dissappointed in the choices i'm making. I'm gonna be better in time. (© copyright 2005)all rights reserved

Things That Make Life Worth Living:

Falling in love. Hearing your favorite song on the radio. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside. Milkshakes. Bubble baths. Giggling. Long conversations late at night. The beach. Running through sprinklers. Laughing at an inside joke. Laughing at yourself. Laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Laughing for absolutely no reason at all. Just plain laughing. Having someone tell you that you're beautiful. Friends. Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you. Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep. First kisses. Making new friends or spending time with old ones. Playing with a new puppy. Sweet dreams. Hot chocolate. Road trips with friends. Making chocolate chip cookies. Holding hands with someone you care about. Watching the sunrise. Watching a sunset. Getting out of bed in the morning after sleeping in and looking out the window to see its sunny, birds are chirping, and kids are playing. Knowing that somebody misses you.
