New Tat

[cainsdad]

Well....I'm the proud owner of a new tat...got it last night at Flaming Heart from Creep (same guy who did John's), after 2 1/2 hours of work, the left side of my chest now carries an eternal connection to my son....I'm not sure why but I have felt better today than at any time since this whole tragedy unfolded...I also bought a fifth of Stoli and

John,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I don't find it strange or extreme at all and I'm sure John would've shared the same opinion. I didn't really get a chance to really say what I wanted to say before because it was hard for me to accept what had happened. So I'm going to say it now. John was really a special guy--I still remember the first time I met him freshman year at Sci-tech. John and Chris Corona were both asking me to be part of their 'cain' religion. He used to come by and sell pepsi during our lunch period. We would call him the 'pepsi pimp' . I spent a lot of time at their apartment, this last year. It was like a second home. Sometimes in the middle of the night I'd wake up to hear John's rambling. We even caught him talking in his sleep one time during a recent trip to Austin. But his humor, his wit, his charm along with his laugh and smile, are just part of the things I remember about John. I think I'll remember him most for his sincerity, his honesty (even though sometimes it wasn't always what I wanted to hear). He would say or do the craziest things when I needed to laugh, give me the advice that I needed when I was going through a dilemma, gave me encouragement and even a better appreciation for life. John as intelligent as he was, loved the little things. Whether it was left over chinese food I'd bring over, or a dr. pepper, ice cream..or even the saddest looking birthday cake you've ever seen...All he said was that it looked like it was made with a lot of love. And it was...John and I had our moments, but throughout the time I've known him my relationship with him grew from being just an acquaintance, a friend, to being one of my closest friends whom I'd grown to respect and love. Klara said it best --i think that what youre doing is the sweetest thing. I'm sure all of us will remember that day always, but most of all remember the person John was and the many memories ...and the great things he's shared with the world...

Sincerely,

Joy Ordinaria
