Life is really really short! Reicko was the true definition of survivor!! He lived a life that wasn't all that easy but he ALWAYS smiled! He went to church WITH or WITHOUT anyone if he wanted to go he was GOING!! I am not saying he was perfect nor am I saying he was an angel, but he was a GOOD GUY!! People hate to say stuff like this but I don't, I don't even really care there are rapists and murderers all kind of trash on the earth, yet Reicko died! I was so devastated when I found out about it! I couldn't understand or begin to grasp why Reicko? It didn't make sense to me! I dare not question God so I was stuck trying to figure this out. I mean I really needed some kind of reasoning for why this had to happen. I continuously came up blank.
All I do know is everybody has a time, and no matter how hard you search you will not know the date, time, or even WHY? All you can do is live your life to the best of your ability! Once its over there is no go backs or do overs! Although I felt like Reicko had so much more life to live, I do feel like as he got older he loved his life a little bit more everyday! He was living and laughing enjoying himself! Everyday wasn't perfect but he wasn't regretting anything! Even when he died he left his mark and its a beautiful one! He left his everlasting smile and his stride to making a better life for the future!! I miss him so much, and I am thankful to have met him!!
Life is real! You only have one! Smile more cry less! Live for you and make sure that you are always striving for a better you and a wonderful life!! Everyday will not be roses and smiles but we are still here for a reason! I myself have to remember that when I go to getting down about Reicko. God saw fit for me to have Reicko in my life for years and I am so blessed to have had a chance to know him! He left a mark in my world and in my heart! I will forever try and keep his memory alive and keep living for him, and my future!
I want to smile more and cry less! I will not take things so serious and start to concentrate on me more! I can't spend my life worrying about things I can't change!! I want to seek God's face and try and just have FUN!! Let my hair down and go for the goal!! I love you Reicko and I miss you sooo much!!
I know this birthday is beautiful because your in heaven with your Grandma, but I surely miss you down here! I will not take your memory for granted!! Smile more worry less!!
R.I.P. Reicko R. Jones :( TODAY is ALWAYS about you!!
