In the arms of the Angel.
This wee boy has had my full attention the past couple of days. Everything has been so surreal. I cannot describe the pain and the hurt I've felt. I cannot believe he is gone. I think a part of me will never accept the fact that he is gone. The Parable of the Good Samaritan was read, and this made me cry because it was actually the most perfect way to describe Perry. He hated prejudice. He would talk to, and cheer up, everyone. He would befriend everyone. He was so amazing in that way, that he should be an inspiration to everyone - he's an inspiration to me. You have to look no further than his bebo to catch just a glimpse of how much Perry changed people..how much he touched them. He was so happy all the time, and this in turn made the people he was around happy. I know of times in town when the mood was shit, but he would come prouncing over, all giggly. LOL. I remember being in laganside, and hearing, "OMG! PERRY GOT ARRESTED! HE GAVE THE PIGS HIS NAME THEN RAN! HE'S RUNNING NOW!" Hahaha. He never failed at making people laugh. I cherish the memories I have with him. Especially the night at my Pirate Party..Me, Perry and Serdah in my bedroom..drinking wkd blue from the keg: "Oh no! There's no cups! JUST DRINK IT FROM THE KEG! NO HANDS! NO HANDS!" and obv. my favourite memory of all..me and Perry stood in the hall in the dark, waiting to jump out on Sarah to "GRAB HER BY THE LIPS!" HAHAHAA! Omg, so funny. Perry had something special. He had the ability to make everyone smile. He made friends with people from every single walk of life..and being at his funeral, and seeing all those who attended, was proof of this. I will never fully understand why he felt so alone, when he was a boy who was loved by everyone who got to meet him, and who got to know him. He was an amazingly beautiful person - inside and out. I do thank God for letting me have the years with Perry that I was friends with him. I thank his parents [Alan and Anne] for bringing such an Angel into the world. I thank Tasha for leading us together. And I thank Perry for changing me, for the best. I thank Perry for giving me so many memories, to laugh at when I'm sad. I thank Perry for being so cute and funny and amazing. I will never ever ever forget him. I will always always love him. Perry, my little Angel, Rest In Peace. xx
