My Dearest Friend

July 25, 2014

Well I have a lot I can say about my best friend in the world.  He really was my twin even though we were born to other mothers, so yes he was my brother from another mother.  

I met John the year Minnie Passed when he joined my group on Peace 4 the Missing.  He became a part of the encouragers and at that very moment became a part of my life for eternity. 


He was having a rough time dealing with Minnie's death and we began talking hours and hours and little by little that light that Johnny carried inside started to spill over into everyone he knew, everyone he became friends with.  

He was always so loving and such a trusting soul that a few times I had to help with people who were taking advantage of him.  Even though they did that to him he never did ever stop having faith and seeing the best in others.  That was the heart of our Johnny.

Sometimes our phone conversations would last and we would laugh and joke and talk about life things and how much our friendship was such an important thing.  Never did I know in a million years we were going to build the bond that we did.  

Johnny was sick.  As time went on he became sicker and sicker and struggled with life iteself.  What amazed me the most was that he was always more concerned about other people and how they were than his ownself.  He would always check on me everysingle day, or I would check on him or both.  As Johnny got worse we developed a code between us, code red in which if I didnt hear from him I would contact his sister Margo so she could check on him.  

He was my Dearest Friend and I thank God for blessing me with him each and every day.  He taught me how to truely love others unconditionally.  To feel okay about letting others inside your heart, most of all to never be affraid to give of yourself to others.  

I miss him every day.  I miss those conversations daily, and how he was always checking up on me   I miss that his love flowed over into the world and that so many others felt the true essence of our Johnny.  I am so glad you are not suffering any longer and that he can now see his minnie.  

I love you always and forever your not far away just a conversation between two friends.  


Missing you!
