Casey Marteny, friend

I always had the biggest crush on Josh. When I was about 15 I bought him a Shakira poster for Christmas because he liked her so much. I remember the look on his face when he unrolled it and he said it was the nicest gift her ever got. I’m sure it wasn’t but he was always in the habit of making people feel special. He always had something nice to say and could always brighten my day with his little smirks the way he could make you feel like you were the only person in the whole world even in a crowded room. He brightened my childhood by being like a brother to me when I was younger and a friend when we grew older. Joshua, thank you for being a part of my life and filling my heart with love and friendship. I will love you forever. This is not “good-bye”, but a “see you later”. Until that day my dear I will be missing you.
