but together we can all get through this

 

I love the peom you wrote for Larry.  Especially the last part.  Tell me what you mean by 'take your life and change it up'?  I'd like to hear what it means to you.

what it means

it means all the people that treat people horibly because of differences are wrong and they need to come to thier sences and realize that just because someone is different dose not give them any right to  ridecule or hurt anyone and should realize that just because of what or  who they are still makes no difference and they should make a change for the better so god can come in and change what needs change

 

what it means to me

larry was like family to me and he was the best kind of family you can find because if something was wronge or some one was doing something he was there to help nomatter if it was giving you a hug and comforting you or it was putting his graduation on the line to beat some one up so they would leave you alone and this line that i wrote reminded me some how of what larry would have wanted everyone to do

 

i hope you understand that it wasnt just about his sexuality that made him who he was but it was his heart and i hope that his kindness and love will live on in in the child that larrys heart is now a part of

 

Thank you for writing back!  What you wrote was very well said.  You are a very wise young lady. :)  

 

I only met larry once, but I've spent a lot of time with a few of his family members and I know ,as you do, that there was a TON more to Larry than what clothes he wore.  I got to hear a lot of stories about how special he was and only wish I could have gotten to know him better.  But, I can assure you beyond a shadow of a doubt, that not only will his heart live on in the child that got it as a transplant, but his heart will also live on in the people who cared about him so very much...  like you, his other good friends, as well as his siblings, parents, and extended family.

 

Thank you for sharing,

Big Hugs!
