Miss you always and forever

This is a tribute to a friend who passed away before his time. God chose him to be an angel when all of us here wanted him to stay. There is no doubt that he could make anyone laugh until they cried, or could spread his smile like a forest fire. He had this love for his friends and his family, seemingly pure and genuine. Passing away at the age of 22 his dreams and goals never faded. He has inspired me and others to follow the right path and never give up until we succeed. There is nothing that can take the memories away and that is the best gift we all have. Pictures, memorabilia- but when I close my eyes I can picture myself right next to him, laughing and loving life. Those are memories that I hold close to my heart keeping his spirit alive.

When I think back of that tragic day it almost seems like yesterday. For a long time I thought the tears would never stop and that I would stay in denial forever. But now, I have come to accept Gods wishes and now the tears have turned into wonderful memories wish turns the tears of sorrow into tears of laughter. That was his goal in life. To make people laugh and to be happy. To be accepted for whom he was, and to make others feel appreciated.

Never will I say good bye or let the memories pass away with him. They will stay with me forever, in a place in my heart that will continue to blossom until the day him and I meet again.

I love you Zach.

"Christmas in Heaven"

I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars
reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you
of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I can't tell you of the splendor
or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas
with our Savior face to face?

I'll ask him to lift your spirit
as I tell him of your love
so then pray for one another
as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful
and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven
and I'm walking with the King.

In Memory

I miss you Z. About 23 of us got together at Dublin's for your birthday. It was too much to bare for a lot of us to bring up the good old times... even though I believe that's what we intended on doing. I sat there and remembered all the times we were there toghether. I pictured you sitting accross from me...smiling and laughing. I would do anything for one hug,...one touch. I love you always- from now until the sun goes down.

R.I.P Zach , we miss you and you'll never be forgotten

When you feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

It was real too soon for you to lose this young friend. Just it was too soon for me to lose my treasure young son Mohammad when he was 23 and I had many plans for his future life. His absence since June last year made hell out of my life. Peace be on them both.
