Today was a very sad day for people I know and love and myself. We were reminded that life is not guaranteed, and we should tell people we love them and pick up the phone and connect because you never know when the Lord will call us home. Through the years my daughters were selective with their friends, so I knew most of them if they brought them around. I'd feed them, laugh with them and listen to them talk about life. When you have a circle of friends which you see each weekend you get to know them, and there is always that one child that just makes you smile. This young man was so funny, kind, caring and always brought a light that shined from him just walking in my house. He came over and this guy always had a different car for the evening. My favorite one, way back when was his lowered truck the whole group would bring their lowered vehicles and park behind McDonalds in Carson. I always knew where they were. The jokes and laughter could be heard long before you saw them. The same young man would show up with a friend and ask what I was doing, or how's your car? Always willing to help others. Time went by some moved, some married and they all grew up. But Boo's laughter never faded! His heart was so big and he had such a sweet soul! He would stop by my house and say hi and we would talk like it was just yesterday when we last talked. He got married, and life went on he had 2 sons who he was so proud of. Sergio was a good Dad; he loved those boys and when he got married to Jen he had 4 children 3 boys and a girl. One day he came over I had a problem with my little truck. He asked what's wrong and I shook my head. He just jumped in, started the truck and said I'll be back. He brought it back after tinkering with it and we hung out talking with both of them. They were a good couple so in love they would play off each others comments and make me laugh so hard. Boo had a smile and a laugh that would light up your heart! They left to go back home with Jen and said just call me if you need anything I will come! I would see him at the store and other places always with his smile and hug. Today, we lost Boo and Jen in a car accident that shouldn't of happened but it did. They were called home to Heaven hand in hand. Way too young, and they were both full of life, hands full of promises of future days. But it wasn't to be, I said a little prayer to God as I wiped away tears, Lord, I guess you needed Boo to direct cars in heaven and Jen to laugh at Boo's jokes I'm glad they are together, so they can watch over the children from up above. Life is so short, it was too soon for them to go, we will miss you both Boo and Jen! Thank you for sharing your lives with me.
