You don’t deserve what society did to you, and society doesn’t deserve you. You smiled even though you were going through tough times, and you laughed even though what we had said hurt you. You really are an angel sent by God, but we were all too ignorant and involved in our little world to see it. I miss you, and you will forever remain in my heart.”
