When I heard you were gone I was messed up for years.
I didn’t for a long time find true happiness.
I couldn’t stop thinking of you.
For years I couldn’t sleep without my parents by my side.
I couldn’t go over and stay with a friend because the memory of losing you haunted me.
I didn’t know you for long, but I am so thankful for how long I did.
I can see you now, with a girl by your side.
I wish you could see me, all grown up.
These days its weird to say, but I see you on every corner in the high school.
I see you everywhere around me in the band room.
I can picture you playing the snare up there in the percussion section with Rickie by your side.
You have a hold on me brother.
I always dreamed of being like my brothers,
And in a sense, I am.
I am proud to be a part of what you used to be,
And I am proud to carry on your legend.
I can’t believe its been nearly seven years in July.
Seventh month, Seventh Day, Seventh year.
Your death was a shocking one.
No one saw it coming.
Everyone came to your funeral.
Today, I celebrate you, brother.
Today is your birthday,
And I know we all miss you now,
But you are in such a better place having a grand birthday party!
You’re kickin’ it with Jesus!
Happy Birthday, my brother from another mother,
Ronald.
And my brother’s best friend.
I love you,
Kara aka. ‘Lil Rickie
