MOURNING

The reason that I have not written a blog in a whole eleven days is because of the fact that 9 days ago, the Lord took Home the most amazing, kindest, most loving man I have ever known in my entire life, and I simply have not had the emotional strength or energy to really write much of anything since that sad sad day. However, I know in my heart, that for me, writing is indeed therapeutic so...here I am (reluctant sigh). I have found it hard to have anything on my mind since last Saturday to have much of anything on my mind other than my dear dear friend and his passing. He was admirable, bold, caring, dedicated, enthusiastic, friendly, generous, helpful, intriguing, joyful, kind, loving, mature, noble, open-minded, passionate, quirky (in an  amazing way), real, sensitive, tolerant, understanding, virtuous, wise, young at heart and zealous. I have never known anyone like him and never will again. We met many years ago as kids at summer camp and from that very moment he changed my life. He always had a smile for everyone and even when he was feeling down you could never tell. I admire honor and remember him for his sincerity and charity as well as so many other irreplaceable qualities that only he could ever have possessed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Ramirez family and everyone else who knew and loved our precious Dom. Do not lose heart for he is surely watching over each and every one of us and he is no longer in pain. He is God's favorite angel!
