Gratitude

It's amazing how the death of a dear friend brings people together. On December 16, 2012 Kelton passed away. Admitted i wasn't the best of friends with him, but he was the funniest, kindest person i have ever met. All he ever did was make others laugh, he put others first i don't recall a time he ever complained about himself. Kelton only had one leg and every time you would ask him what happened he would say "Shark attack, bitch." My favorite memory of Kelton was when he would stick his rubber foot in people's faces on the gravel at West Jeff Middle School. What an amazing person, i'm in such shock. But it just goes to show that in the blink of an eye it can all be over.
Appreciate everything you have. Be grateful to wake up today, be grateful to breathe, be grateful to see, to walk. Be grateful for life.
Conifer was mourning Thursday, but we didn't cry, we didn't wallow in our sorrow. Sometimes we wouldn't even speak, we could look at each other and see the sadness, we understood one another. We laughed, we remember Kelton and his joy, his happiness. We laughed, because Kelton wouldn't have wanted us to all cry together. there was no hate that day, just understanding, just care, just gratitude. Life goes on and we are grateful for that.
We love you Kelton, have a blast in heaven, get laid, party it up. Do all the things you thought were never possible. And make sure to never stop smiling buddy. <3
