Randy Flamer
Sometimes we get the chance out of our busy lives to reflect on things that mean the most..so let me explain the gift that I was given. I met a boy around the neighborhood 1 day, he was around the same age as me. We became as brothers as we grew into teenagers and then young men. Spending time with my BRO was nothin new. Talking about our families, girlfriends, life in general. At some point, we even talked about being fathers and husbands.
Then one day, my world came crashing down..To a brother now gone and has left me..well, lets just say for a brief moment. I ask myself “WOW, where has all the time gone?”
Now your gone but I have a TON of memories to keep your memory alive.
I’ll always picture you laughing or doing something YOU in my heart to keep myself from crying or dwelling too long.
Your torchlight is part of all of us who loved you in this world. And guess what? We’re still going to grow old together.. as you will always be in my heart and soul.
Until we meet again, promise me BRO…that you, Walt and Steph will be at the gates waving me in. All of us reminiscing as yall show me around my new home in Heaven.
Until then, dont do nothin crazy or have too much fun without me. See you one day soon….
Randy
