Blog #10 His name was Kevin

 

Unlike my other blogs, this one is different.

Ive always been loved by many people. Sometimes I question why? I always try to remain humble, I don’t feel too different from the next person. I’ve always felt regular, no different from the rest of the world.

When I was around 14, I met a very special person.

This person made me feel beautiful and loved. He made me feel like I was the only person in the room, even if it was filled with hundreds of people. He became a very close person to me throughout the years, my ugly teenage years to my graceful adult years.

His laugh was contagious, you couldn’t be mad at him…for too long. His goofy personality and lengthy body you couldn’t help but notice him. 

Sunshine, that’s what he called me.

The nickname was given to me from the lyrics from “ My Girl “ by the Temptations.

“I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way”

We got older, and things started to change. We barley spoke but when we did it was like we never lost touch. I always wished him well in life even though we took different routes. The decisions he made wasn’t always the best but I always had his back and vice versa. 

I didn’t get to see his graceful adult years, I’ll remember him as 26 years old forever. 

He was my yellow.
