Ron I'm shocked and broken hearted,you are so young and strong. In the short 6 months we were friends I loved everything about you. And I'm sorry we didn't make it through our difference"s. I know you were a free bird. Along with all your masculine qualities, ...funny ,strong,clever,charming, hard working, generous,and romantic. You are one of the kindest and most gentle personalities I have ever met. In that short friendship you only spoke well of even jobs and people who gave you concern. You loved working and your family and mentioned them often. I hope you're with your mom who I know you missed terribly, I remember,, yellow her favorite color. Im sorry Ronny we parted, I hope I walk with you again into your favorite sunsets. RIP beautiful man.

AN OLD MAN'S TAKE ON GRIEF... “Alright, here goes. I’m old. What that means is that I’ve survived (so far) and a lot of people I’ve known and loved did not. I’ve lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can’t imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here’s my two cents. I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don’t want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don’t want it to ‘not matter.’ I don’t want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can’t see. As for grief, you’ll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you’re drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it’s some physical thing. Maybe it’s a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it’s a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive. In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don’t even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you’ll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what’s going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything…and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life. Somewhere down the line, and it’s different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O’Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you’ll come out. Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don’t really want them to. But you learn that you’ll survive them. And other waves will come. And you’ll survive them too. If you’re lucky, you’ll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks."

To my Ronald, I had the wonderful priviledge of getting into your cab last July which led to sharing our household. From the moment we met, we knew we had something very rare. It was too short-lived as things divided us but our love was very clear and very true right up until yesterday when I was supposed to see you. I don't know what happened but I do know that at least we got to tell eachother how we feel and we shared so many wonderful moments filled with love. My time with you was nothing less than lightening in a bottle and it is hard to even go home now as I see you everywhere. I don't know that I told you enough so I am telling you here and now. You were the absolute love of my life and it will be daily torture without you. I will remember Trump rallying, bike rides, exploring places, beach walks, stupid fights, driving around to see Christmas lights, shoveling snow together, swimming in the pool, awesome dinners and most of all incredible hugs filled with an irreplaceable passion that could only be between a bull Taurus and ram Aries. Thank you for all of the things you did for my daughter and I. I am sorry I couldn't fix everything. I don't even have any words to express my heartache in how much I miss you....and forever will...until I see you again. May the love and peace of Jesus Christ be with you forever and ever. Love ~ Jeannie, Ava & Holly
