A tribute to My Friend

18th June 2012. This is the day I woke up to a zillion missed calls from OLD friends...you know the ones that when you get their missed calls you are too scared to return and wonder what is....and then I got the sad news...that you were no more. I didn't cry that day or the day after, I cried after like three days when I saw all those RIP messages. My heart was broken...I was broken. This is the day I remember you Cylo. My good friend that always busted me...how come you always found me on the wrong? either as high as a kite, or something else and still said hi to me with a straight face without judging me...I remember my visits to your office to see your md that you disliked so much (no not even dislike, we dislike cauliflower and lettuce, loathe is a better word) (m.cotts), no I didn’t date him I still insist. I remember the look you would give me when I walked past where you sat in that office. I can’t remember the year well, but it must have been 2005 or 2006. 

This is a tribute to you my friend...this to let you know that I found God...yes, I know I did last year and the year before and the one before that, but still lived a double life. I found him for real, am a good girl now and don’t do no bad things. My life is all neat and peacefull. I have surrendered my life to Christ and he is in control now. I have let him take the wheel of my life. I wish you were here to see this change and to witness what God can do. In a mess like my life he saw righteousness.

You said that I talk too much (mostly made up stories) and urged me to put it down on paper but I didn’t know that I would be writing about God and for God.

Here is my blog. I call it God's blog, still anonymous but will put it out there soon, maybe not.

I imagine that God looked around heaven and saw how bored the people up there were, so He looked around down here and said to His angels, there is no laughter at the simple things or dancing, so how do we fix this? So God decided to get the funniest guy to fix things up their and got you Cylo. To cheer up all that have gone before us and to make it like a party everyday up there.

 

Today am looking at exactly one year without your funny facebook updates. Today my heart carries a sorrow that I know will not go away tomorrow. I log on to your blog and it’s still the same…no new stuff that would crack me up. I mourn you my friend but not like a person that has no hope, 1 Thessalonians 4: 13. 

Your sudden demise reminded me that I ought to show love more, hug more and appreciate the people around me more... you taught me that it really is not worth the time and effort to sweat the small stuff....and believe me, it's pretty easy to discern the wheat from the chaff! Live everyday as if its your last according to God's will. James 4: 13-17

¹³ Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” ¹⁴ Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. ¹⁵ Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” ¹⁶ As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. ¹⁷ If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

I miss you my dearest friend cylo..
