My best friend Payton has passed

On July 30, 2008 Payton passed away peacefully in my arms. When I made my first entry in this blog almost one year ago, I wrote of my best friend and how brave he was. I now know that those words were an under statement. He was part of my family, his bravery and will to keep on living were 2ND to none. I never knew how incomplete I would feel without him in my life. I miss him terribly and not a day goes by that I don't think of him. It took me 3 weeks to sit down and wright this entry because I knew how painful it would be. During those 3 weeks I also realized that my baby is now in a better place. I know god gave him his wings, he is now pain free and playing as he use too. I have received so many email from people saying that Payton gave them hope and inspiration. I never want anybody to give up hope because Payton passed away. The extra year we had together was the best thing that could have ever happened to us. Payton's memory will live on in my heart and our souls will be forever connected. The last words I said to him were "see you next lifetime, I love you Pappas". We will meet again one day and when we do he will love and inspire me as he always did, once again. I love you Payton, thank you for all the good times and love you gave me and everybody else who knew you. I also want to thank Kendra. Payton loved you so much and I know you loved him also. You did a lot for him and he knew that. The pictures above were taken one day before Payton passed away. Thanks again to everybody who said a prayer for him and wrote with words of encouragement. God speed Payton
