"To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die"...Thomas Campbell.
One day I was reading a romance novel on the bleachers of Farmers Oval Park where my friends and I hung out as teens. My friend Mike came and sat next to me and I read him this caption which was written on the beginning page of the book. I couldn't have known then that he would be killed a year later and this saying would remind me of him for the rest of my life. I even took out an ad in my high school year book with this caption dedicated to him on a special page. The year he was killed he promised to take me to my high school prom. He died 6 months before.... Happy Birthday, my friend. I promised you as I walked away from your grave that I will never forget you. You have not died. As you will always live in my heart.
