Shanil- in your memory

hi bud. they built a huge really nice athletic center in your name and tomorrow is when they are presenting it to everyone. we really miss you. it is amazing how much you really held our class together, and what a huge influence you were on all of us. its wierd to think that it was so long ago when i last saw you because it still feels like yesterday. were all juniors now and i wish you were with us. i am sure you are still watching over us and i know that you are in the back of everyone's minds. your smile is still a clear memory to me. a few nights ago i was going through some old stuff and  i found the letter i wrote to you from a chapel service forever ago. it really reminded me of what a huge impact you have made on my personality. i wondered where i got  some of my postive characteristics and my outlook on attitude/life from..because i havent always made it a priority to forgive people no matter what, laugh at myself, and make the best out of everything. and that letter kind of made me realize that you are the reason i am like that now. i really dont think i would feel as strongly about loving people no matter what if it were not for you. you are the reason i want to have a postive impact on others. and you are the reason i want to be humble about anything good i can do, because you were the most postive, influential, Christ like person i have ever known, and you were so humble you probably did not even know that  . the theme this year is legacy, and even though i really dont care about the themes that much, you really did make a legacy. not only at school but to everyone who has even heard anything about your character. i miss you and wish you could be here with us, but i know that you are in the best place there is. i hope that you have some way of seeing this. i love you- In Christ, me

Hey Shanil!!

well i miss you more than words can even say. its not fair that you had to leave so early. i went to homecoming with kyle, and your mom came and took pictures with us. she is so strong shanil. she is strong because of you. she is happy. she knows you are in a better place. we all miss you here. its not fair that you cant be here with us to go through it all. but sometimes i wish i were with you. i think about you all the time. i miss you so much. i dont even know how to put into words how much we miss you here. i know you are looking over us, and smiling down on us, lighting our world. your smile could change anybodies day. we just started a new semester. i have jack in my lunch. hes doing good too. always happy, i know you changed his life. you changed mine too. i love you shanil. i miss you. i want you to come back so bad. but you have done your job here and i know that its okay for you to be in heaven. its almost a sense of closure, to know that your in a better place now. i miss you and love you, lookout for us down here, keep us smiling, save me a spot.
