from Sydney…
dear roman,
lately all that has crossed my mind is the thousands of people that you changed and brought closer to God. it’s so crazy to me how one boy could fulfill God’s mission in only 15 years. you have made such a difference in people’s lives that we all will never forget and we will forever tread on through this life just knowing that we got the opportunity to know you.
this world never deserved to have you here. you are beyond what i ever will be here. i have never pondered the thought of heaven and eternal life so intensely like do now. i just know for a fact that you are fishing the most plentiful ponds full of bass and shooting the biggest world class deer imaginable in heaven.
you departing from this world has made me realize how grateful i am to say that i had the once in a lifetime chance to live among an angel. i always had this gut feeling in the depths of my soul that you were someone that was too good to stay here. you have truly made a significant mark on me that i will never be the same. this will be something that i will have to live with and deal with until i take my last breath but i know this isn’t the end. i promise to live like you roman, for the rest of my life.
i know i will never live up to be the person you were but i will forever try to. i will always strive to accomplish the impossible like you did, and do what God wants me to achieve here. you have truly conquered the world roman. i will forever remember your unforgettable smile that made me feel so overjoyed to just be alive. that how you lived your entire life, always wanting to be with family and just be ALIVE. you knew what truly mattered and what the purpose of us being here is.
now that you earned your wings, i knew you always had them but they were never visible to the human eye. the last time i saw you i wish i could express and tell you how i cherish your existence so much. i want you to know that i will forever be here for ivy and everyone who knew you. i promise to always keep you close to my heart and to pray to you whenever i need comfort. i will always look for signs and messages you send me through nature and others because that’s what you loved. you live forever. i love you and i can’t wait to see you again one day.
