@Diggy Thanks for the comment man. It was a tough time for sure but made me realize what it is that drives me.

Hey Bud!

Wow,moving speech man. So tragic
I agree, there is little point to life except to live it as much as you can, don’t fret the little things and follow your heart.

My respects to Marco.

Bud,

Great job!! <3<3<3 I am so proud of you, and all of Marco's friends. Continue to take with you (all of you) the wonderful memories of Marco, continue to dream, and know that you are so much bigger than you think you are.

Sending a big hug to all of Marco's friends as they begin their freshman year of College! You guys are incredible people….so live incredible lives, as you hold Marco in your heart

Hey kid. I remember that day very well. You were crying deeply and having a hard time even breathing. I was pretty torn up myself. You looked up at me with tears in your eyes and you asked me “WHY, why do things like this happen Dad?” So with all the courage I could muster, I told you, “When you were 2 and you asked me why you could not play with the knife, I told you that you hurt yourself and I love you too much to let that happen. When you were 5 and you asked me what 3X3 was, I told you 9. When you were 11 and you asked me about girls, I told you. I have always had an answer. But now, with Marco dead, you ask me why things like this happen, and I have no answer. There is no one answer. Each one of us has to figure out how we grow from such things and what we will learn.”

Sure seems like you have figured all this out. Glad the speech went well. Keep up the good work.

Heart warming post, as always!

It is good that you did not waste your energy fearing, but using most of your energy to say what your heart needs to say! That is putting energy at the appropriate place!
Congratulations, but I have yet to do it (it will be nice to try)!

Yes things happen for a reason according to Alana!

Bud, God put you here for a reason. You were put in my life for a reason. You were also given a gift, as was I,and you’ve shown it exceptionally well. I wish I could use mine to such greatness as you. You are my idol and I look up to the way you’ve moved forward with this through your writing. Unfortunately I am still struggling to forgive myself, but every time I read your blog I feel empowered to make change, to use what I’ve learned, and open up. I love you with all my heart, and I am so proud of you Bud.

Thanks everyone for all the comments.

@Miche: There is no need to be sorry my friend. He lives with me to this day.

@Brian: I don’t look at posting my speech as “badass.” His death has had a profound impact on me as a person and I am who I am today largely because of him. This blog is dedicated to his presence.
