Happiness comes in the smallest of forms
Whether it be by simple words such as hello
or a simple gesture like a hug
Happiness comes when we all least expect it
As if the universe is trying make up for all the bad it has done you wrong

I just sit there and think as they laugh and choose others to talk to over me.
I just think there and think when will I become someone’s number one
And only one word comes to mind
Never

My parents left late at night
Driving to my mom's parent's house
I feared for the worse
That I would lose my poppy
Never in my wildest dreams would I think I'd lose you
There is so much I want to say
To do with you
You promised you'd teach me to drive
A promise I still hold to you
but now you are gone
I know you are proud of me
I will try to keep my head up high
I love you so much
I know you will forever be looking out for me
As you soar above the clouds
And goof around with the rest of the family
I love you dearly
and I know I didn't see you a lot
I know work was important
You will forever be my fun cool Uncle
And I will always share the stories of you I have
Rest in Peace Uncle Adam
Heaven has gained another angel

Today I got my license
and this year also marks the 4th year
without either of you
When I was practicing
I drove by your house
The house I called a Home
for 3 years of my life
It was in shambles
The vines I knew that would cause trouble
have overgrown and blocked the stairs up into the house
The grass is overgrown
and Mother nature is taking back what once was hers

I saw his truck
parked in its usual spot
but there was a hole
where her car should be
Tears pricked at my eyes
to see the house I called my second home
to be like this
Overgrown and forgotten by the family
that once lived there

You tried to keep me in your life
even when your daughter tried to throw me away
Because to you
I was never your daughter's friend
but I was a family member from a different family

I wish I could show you my achievments
Hear your voice again
I wish I could go back in time to
when I was happy with just
laying around
and not having to worry about life

Thank you
Thank you for putting up with me
for being nice to me
for including me in everything you do.
Thank you for listening to me
and assuring that you will help
the truth is I'm scared
I'm scared I might fail you
You guys have great personalities and I wish I could be the same
you aren't afraid of anyone
Thank you for assuring the teacher that
you would help me
and telling him that you would take care of me
The group makes me anxious to the point where
I want to throw up
but you guys crack the jokes you do and help ease
my awkwardness
and to that I say Thank you.

Today we lost someone Brave and Strong
Someone just like you
Why Is Cancer a horrible beast
that takes away someone's child
Please take him in your Arms and show him the ropes
Show him how loved and missed he his
I miss you so much and this death just hurts me more
But I need to be strong just like you
I can't believe we lost him to the same disease we lost you
But hey Just like you always said
I'm Still standing
and I will show you
How strong I am
Just like you
