GERI

Ok its odd that i chose to name this one Geri after never interacting with him before his death. But his death sparked a lot of awareness in many of my friends life.

All i can say is this:
my god...life is soo fascinating yet complex.....we spend days planning and preparing for a future that might or might not belong to us, because one day we may be unexpectedly pardoned from it. And though we may not know it, we make life irrelevant when we deny ourselves the opportunity to fully enjoy it by putting ourselves in the way of disaster and death.

Don't test death, because one day the test will be over. Simply put, don't put yourself in the way of danger. This is unexpected from me, being that I am a woman who enjoys the risks in life and feather myself after each success, but one day, I know it will catch up to us. I bathe myself in this victory and chain myself from death....Remember man is like dust, we are here one day and gone 2maro, never quite understanding how life could turn so dramatically.

Its like acquiring money....We work 8 hours, 5 days a week to earn some money..and before you know it, its gone in less time u take to earn it. Life is pretty much like that, we invest our emotions, or time, our life, our laughter, our mourning, our sorrow and our love in a soul that we treasure so dearly...One we consider a friend....snatched from the very gift of life, snatched from the people who loved him unconditionally, not favouritism, but unfavourable, unconditional love. I am sure this is the love many of you shared for Geri or any one you've lost who is so dear to you.

I tell ppl all the time, prepare today for 2maro yes....but enjoy to the max the days u do live, and don't wait to live life for the hope of 2maro. LIVE IT NOW. Its like saving for future investment that may never manifest. I know that Geri might have already during the short course of his life and most recently planned for the summer, ATI, graduation etc.

Enjoy and love the people in ur life and be kind to the ones u don't know, u might be that string of hope in another persons life. And live a life to be remembered, whilst u r still living and even after ur departure so that not only ur name but also ur existence may be worth more than the mere resounding of ur name. MARK UR LIFE AS A PATH TO BE FOLLOWED AND NOT TORTURED....leave a legacy.
