A Tribute to Greg
"You were in my life for a short time, I guess I was meant to meet you and learn from you, to learn to live life by the day
"
By Genysys Sanchez
Many times I remember seeing you hanging out in the hall
There was a certain place where we would all hang out
Right after fifth
You were always so full of energy and life
Always ready to give someone a friendly smile
Or make a funny joke
Many times I will remember your big, friendly hugs
No matter how bad things got, I always knew that after fifth period
I would always have
One of your special hugs.
You would always make me laugh
Especially when I was sad
Greg, you never seemed to have a bad day
You were forever flashing a smile
Or maintaining your kindness towards everyone.
I know you will be remembered for your outgoing personality
And for never having problems with anyone
You were someone who was kind at heart
Never talking bad about anyone.
I don't remember exactly how we met
But I know that since that day we began a friendship
You were in my life for a short time
I guess I was meant to meet you and learn from you
To learn to live life by the day
And never frown because I never know how long life will last me
Even though you had your hardships, you always seemed to live your life
To the fullest.
I will never forget the day I found out you were dead
I couldn't believe it
I was in shock
I’d still expect to see you around school
Or hear your voice
I would see people that resembled you and think that they were you
Only then would I remind myself that you were gone.
It didn't really hit me until I was at your funeral
And I saw everyone bursting out in tears
That’s when I realized that you were really dead
I realized that I would never have one of your big, friendly hugs again.
Now when I walk through the hallways
I remember our little meeting spot
And it hits me
That you're now forever gone.
To this day I still ask myself, why?
Why you?
Why someone who was always so full of life?
Someone who had so many dreams,
So much potential?
As hard as it is to have you gone
And as painful as it was to say goodbye
I know that you're in a better place
Now you're looking down on all those who loved you
You are now another angel in heaven
And I know for certain that you continue to spread your joy.
Rest in Peace Greg
You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.
