For Lucia Green
"mom"... I am sorry it has been so long since we have last spoken. I got the "news" today, and i can only hope it is a nightmare that i will wake up from.
I hate it when people say things like "life works in mysterious ways" because right now you do not deserve to be hooked up to some machine and on the verge of going into that "great unknown"...
You are one of the most intelligent, funny, hard working people i have ever come across, and because of Maple View, H-Money and the rest, i came to understand professionalism and work ethic. I know i would not be who i am today if it weren't for all of you, and now that you are dying....
Thank you, thank you so much... You made me feel special, with your warmth... You have earned the respect from all of my family, and you deserve it. I just still cannot believe this...
My warmest memories of you are all the times i was the coffee boy, the Red Lobster boy, and Friendly's boy... haha! normally to be someone's gopher is insulting, but in reality you spared me from being stuck behind a desk and you got a much deserved 15-20 minute break just taking phone calls.
The way that you had become my "mom", and i was you "son", H-Money was my "father" (though i got the impression i was born through In-vetro or immaculate conception), how Sal and Carl were my "brothers", and how just about everyone else was my "cousin", with the execption of my real cousins.
You stroked my ego, to no end, and i smiled whenver you said things like i'll be smart and handsome when i get "bigger", given i was already taller then everone else, minus Garfield and "the Boss"!
The way you pushed me to study, and even though i was not aware of your road to becomming and great nurse and even better DNS, i am sure it was filled with hardship and struggle, through which you came through using your intellect and wit.
Your beautiful voice, your smooth accent, the smell of J'adore... you don't know how many women i've impressed because i knew right away the scent of J'adore... but at the same time you had the WORST short-hand writing, a code i am convinced only H-Money could ever read
And lastly, the way you didnt take shit from anyone. You were direct, upfront, and did what you had to do so MVM would run smoothly. I have only recently come to revere such strength in a person, and i am so glad that you were someone who showed it to me...
I am not a man of faith, so i will say good journey, may wherever you go from now be warm and pleasant, and hopefully we will see one another again, this time, i'll buy the drinks and lobster...
