I can't believe its been a year. A year does come way too fast. There isn't a day that goes by when I think of you.
I remember when we were young and we would play house. We would have Shantae, Dallas and my brothers be our kids and we would watch Commando. Growing up with you was so much fun, making movies in your basement with your Freddie Kruger mask, going to your wrestling meets, watching you win, and succeeding in life. What happened? I hope you know that I love and miss you!
I came across a song the other day by Linkin Park and whenever I hear it I think of you.
"I dreamed I was missing You were so scared
But no one would listen Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?
So if you're asking me I want you to know
Chorus: When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest, Leave out all the Rest
Don't be afraid I've taken my beating I've shed but I'm me
I'm strong on the surface Not all the way through
I've never been perfect But neither have you
So if you're asking me I want you to know
Chorus: When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest, Leave out all the Rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself I can't be who you are
Chorus: When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest, Leave out all the Rest
Reasons you are missed would be your character, personality, smile, compassion for life, the great things you accomplished - that person will always be missed. You will always be in my memory and you will always be my cousin and you will always be missed. I can't wait to see you again.
I love and miss you...Larkyn

That songs sounds good. I don't recall hearing it though. I can't believe it has been a year already either. WOW!! Wish I could have got to know him better.
Its been a year already wow. I remember when you told us what happened. What a beautiful way to remember him by.
Thank you very much, Larkyn. We know you were closer to Rayce than some of the other cousins and this hit you harder than most of relatives. That was very nice and the song was very fitting. We will have to wait for a while to get the chance again to experience Rayce's unique sense of humor as we are sure he will still have that when we see him again, and he will probably still be joking about the last few years of his life.
