Today is the day where we buried a loved one in Lathrop. Ironically, today is also Mental Health Day. I still can’t believe that this has hit close to home, on Sunday I attended his viewing, it was something so bittersweet to see everyone coming together, but a death of a loved one is not the way everyone should reunite...Life is too precious, showing love to friends and family is much needed now more than ever. I know you were close with my brother...Growing up, it was only him and I, and I’m glad that he’s met you and you have been such a great impact on his life. I know how hard you fought, I know how hard my brother tried to help, I know how hard he tried to save you. Even though we were not close, you were always there whenever I made my visit to see the Godchildren in Tracy. You joked with me a few times about the designs I made for their parties and how they were not printed on time. Pouring and taking shots of Hennessy is how I’ll remember you the most.. You always asked me how I was doing, and I appreciated that... Everyone is going to miss you so dearly. We wish there was something we could have done to prevent this... But we know that this was something you have been fighting for a while, and it did get the best of you. But some how, I hope you have found your peace. And I hope that you have left the world knowing that were you loved. You were loved so so much Neil... You will still be loved till the end of time. Your life did matter, it mattered to so much of us, especially to my brother, sister, and godson... I know they will hurt for a long time and they will still question themselves asking “Why..” But with time, comes the healing process.
I hope you rest well in paradise Neil.
