So many years - yet, still feels like yesterday. I found out you became an angel ... late... as usual. I still remember the way I got the phone call. By chance, a friend was driving by the funeral home and saw our friends outside. That friend called me. I was in college and busy with school. So busy, I had not spoken to you in days, weeks maybe. I remember I was cleaning my dorm that day. I was a mess and in no shape to go out. When the phone rang, my heart fell out of my chest. I remember finding the funeral home with out knowing where I was going- all the way from bay shore- driving with panic and tears. It’s as if you guided me there. You knew I was always late . I needed to get there and you made sure I saw you for the last time. I remember falling in disbelief and being so scared to look . I remember that day so vividly. My friend - my Jaime, I spend time thinking of you from time to time. Every time I see something that reminds me of our friendship and your amazing personality...
I remember your beauty and spirit. I live my best life in honor of you. You are in the most safe, loving and beautiful place... but selfishly, I wish you had more time to live out your dreams.
I hope you see my children- I had a son seven months ago. His name is Roman Roy. My eldest son, Gianni and daughter, Yesenia... are getting so big. You would have loved their big personalities:)
I miss you, Jaime .
I’m still hoping I make you proud.
