Analysis of In Loving Memory...
Dedicated to Richard Weaver
In Loving Memory…
At 8 a.m. on April 27th…
I got word that my best friend and little brother had gone to Heaven.
I cannot believe how hard it hit…
I felt ill, sad and claustrophobic.
Being ill was only a sign…
That he would prove to be the strongest man ever alive.
He smiled day in and day out… He always offered everyone help.
I appreciate everything he has ever done…
He was my go to guy, and we always had fun.
I wish I would have hugged him one last time…
I was in denial that it was his time.
His children are so precious and young…
I hope they grow knowing how much they were loved.
Richard AKA Ricky I've known since he was only 15…
My heart hurts knowing the distance in between.
He is no longer in pain…
He is reunited with his brother,
Billy once again.
RIP My Friend …
