Ma Dude, this life thing is just not the same without you! I have stopped trying to understand or asking why? But nine months later, it still doesn’t feel real. My whole life feels like a dream. To say I miss you would be the biggest understatement! To go from doing absolutely EVERYTHING with someone, and suddenly not have them there with you physically, is the most crippling feeling to say the least! Days are long, nights are long, but time seems to have stood still! It’s difficult to put into words how life feels without you around. I’m still learning to walk again, to smile, to laugh! Times are hard but God is very present in my life. I’m still able to get up in the morning and do what needs to be done. All glory to Him! I keep asking myself how and remember His words in Isaiah 41:10; “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” I will continue putting all my hope and trust in the Lord, and believe His plans to give me “a hope and a future.” So today we celebrate you my LOVE! A legend, a man who loved without reservation, whose smile lit up the world, with an echoing laugh that melted hearts! A big guy with a big heart, whose sole purpose in life, was to positively impact the lives of those he encountered, in person or remotely! We celebrate you man of God! We glorify His name for the time spent with you! The impact you made! The lives you touched and continue to touch! You were and truly are one of a kind! You will never be forgotten Mr. Sho! EVER! Live, Love, Leave a Legacy! That’s exactly what you did! May you continue resting in peace my LOVE, and may your legacy live forever! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU MY SKAT! Happy Heavenly Birthday my KING!

“Happy Heavenly Birthday day Fa I’m not going to lie. Writing this message feels so strange and heartbreaking. It’s your first heavenly birthday. Unfortunately I can’t run to your room and irritate you on this special day. It feels extremely weird and empty not having you around. I miss asking you for nasal spray when mine finished. I miss you coming to my room asking me to take pictures of you, or “come take me a snap”. I miss you calling me asking “Juice, what’s for lunch?” I just miss you being here fa But I know you’re resting in peace and watching over us I love you so much Fede Happy Birthday,” Alicia wrote.

Happy Heavenly birthday Fah. I love you always and forever. I’d give anything to have you back even if it’s to say goodbye properly. I hope you feel my love even from up there. Time isn’t making this easier. I wish now more than ever that it did. Maybe this would hurt less.
