Douglas Johnson I Miss You

Douglas Johnson It been almost a year since you were called to be with the lord and I sincerely miss you!

I just have to say thank you for all you have inspired me to do.

I lived vicariously through you and a few other friends.

Your impressive determination to not let a disability prohibit your progress never had an end.

In life you were as lively as anyone I have ever knew.

I secretly admired your strength of effortlessly tackling all obstacles thrown at you.

I know I met you late in life but it was right on time.

Your spirit lives on and I am proud to say you’re still a friend of mine.

As I reminisce of our short time together I am still in awe at your courage and ability to never complain.

If I had dealt with even half of your private challenges I would definitely be visibly insane.

I really had no idea of how much you were struggling and I am sure that is how you preferred it to be.

Despite your pains your ability to be selfless with your generosity never missed a beat as you did it consistently!

You touched my heart by providing non-judgmental support in times that I really needed a good friend.

That’s why our friendship continues as I continue to conquer this world until GOD requests my journey to also come to an end.

They say the impact you have on people’s lives is always apparent at your funeral; now I certainly agree.

Being there to observe all the love your family showed you validated how much they already missed you dearly.

Our brief encounter in life trumped some of my longer friendships because your transition significantly impacted me!

I use your life as motivation to live my life the way I want to just like you did with pride yet respectfully.

I get sad sometimes thinking of the positive contributions you made to my life knowing you’re no longer physically here.

The consolation of knowing you’re resting in heaven brings me comfort in knowing GOD has you near and dear!
