Upon hearing the news, I dropped to floor and, before long, found myself lying in a pool of tears. Broken, afflicted, despaired, agonized, depressed, denial, hopeless, empty…….words can’t begin to describe the way I feel. Nonetheless, it would be selfish, despicable, appalling for me, who claims that I loved him so much, to want him to continue to live in pain and suffering. This is when I feel relieved to know that he’s in a better place: one free from sickness, pain, suffering, helplessness and certainly where no tears may dim the eyes- a place where we shall meet on the beautiful shore.
I remember,
Tomeli.....Oh! yes. It was always something he would do around me to make me say "Oh Lord i don't know what "Day-Day" gone do with you" (lol). Those time when he came to Grand Cay for visits and i would go by Aunty Corine all day everyday and we would talk and laugh for hours watching the princess and the frog and 2012, occasionally some David (lol). He would quote lines from the movie all day....(Princess Tiana: I don't seem to recall anything in the fairytale about... kissing on the lips. Ray: Oh ho. It looks like this could take quite some time. Ooh. That's a catchy title right dar.Princess Tiana: I mean I didn't even know frogs had lips. How 'bout a nice firm handshake.) then he would laugh hysterically, tears pouring out his eyes and knock me across the shoulder. If i want to, I'll be here all day telling stories but gatta tell one more before i go.
Back when i was in 7th grade, he being in the 9th, Tomelio sent me to the shop. Now why would he want to send me out when he wasn't that much older. However, following instructions i went. He specifically said "Go by Christine buy me one Fruitie bar (ice-cream) and if i feel good when u come back I'll give u dollar." I said in my mind this dude gatta be joking. So i went with the twenty dollar bill and brought back his ice-cream and bought me one too. So i handed him the change and so he said Sherina what u buy with my money i said an ice-cream too. Tomelio ran me all over the school ground for 75cents because i went 75 cents over the dollar he promised (lol). The good times huh? I can never forget all the good and bad times we shared but some how the good will always out weight the bad! I miss you. Sleep on and take rest in Paradise!
