Today the world lost someone amazing
Dear Scotty
The world is an awful unfair place sometimes, to take you at the age of 31 away and leave everyone who loved you so dearly wondering why you ? why did you get CF (Cystic Fibrosis)?
The past year has gone by so fast and I never even stopped to think you would actually be gone one day. You were always such a fighter that no matter how sick you got, you seemed to always bounce back. And then when you finally got the double lung transplant we all thought, ‘he’s out of the hospital now, and out of the woods’. Even though we had had a little voice in our heads reminding us that the exit to the woods had fallen branches and rocks to get through.
I know we were so far apart in age that we never really got to get to know each other. When I was younger I remember you picking me up from my house and bringing me out to the yacht club for sailing every Wednesday. I always found it hard to keep a conversation going because I didn’t really know what to talk about with someone in there 20’s, You always managed to think of something though and we would talk. In grade 10 I was sleeping at Jen’s for the night and you came over to get your car from pats. You brought bacardi breezers just for everyone to drink and hangout. you gave me two, and I had the worst and my first hangover the next morning, you will always be held responsible for giving me my first hangover, and I will always remember that night when ever I wake up with a bit of a headache.
Although this past year has been the worst for you, it was the year I really got to know you. I looked forward to visiting you on tuesdays in the hospital, you were my only family up here and you were someone I looked forward to talking to.
I’m really glad I got to know you Scott, I’m sorry it had to be from a hospital room.
I love you, and I hope your screaming and running around breathing easy once again.
Rest in peace cousin, Rest in peace <3
