Today marks four years since you left us, Gabey. ❤️
Four years .... It sounds like such a long time, yet somehow there are days when it feels like yesterday ( Especially today ! )
You were never just someone who worked with me, someone I mentored, or even just a friend. You were like a son to me and I loved you as such. I still think about you all the time, your smile, your hunger for life, your ridiculous determination, just a pure honorable & ethical amazing person ! That incredible ability you had to appreciate everything this world had to offer.
“Head up. Look how far we have come, but look how far we still have to go.”
I have thought about those words of yours so many times over the last four years. Perhaps without ever knowing it, you ended up teaching me just as much as I ever tried to teach you.
Life has carried on, as it somehow always does ! So much has happened, so much has changed. There have been moments I wish I could have shared with you, conversations I wish we could have had and countless times I have wondered what an incredible man you would have become.
One thing that hasnt changed and never will, the place you have in my heart. I genuinely believe that this life is not the end of our story and that somewhere, somehow, we will see each other again. Until that day, keep a place for me up there, my champ. 🕊️
I will keep remembering you, I will keep speaking about you and I will keep being grateful that even though it was for far too short a time, I was lucky enough to have you in my life.
Much love forever, Chocees. ❤️
Until we meet again.
