Dear Odarri
I can't believe you're gone, Odarri. Somewhere in Heaven, up in the clouds. I felt you pat my back last night when I thought of you and started crying. It must have been you and started crying. It must have been you who walked past me when I felt that chill after being so cold. You fought as much as you could but it was time for you to go home. I don't think of your death being a lost battle, but a time for God to carry home His angel.
The world is just not the same without you here. You've left us so early. It just doesn't seem right that you're not next to us in class, or breakdancing with the rest of the team, or putting smiles on our faces with your randomness that we'll miss. We loved you more than you could even comprehend. Odarri, you may be gone physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually, you are still with us. Thinking of all the good times we've shared, the conversations we've had and all other beautiful moments, brings back the smile to my face. I've never had such final closure to someone that was close to me in age or just plain... close.

i know its hard and it hit us
i know its hard and it hit us so hard when we found out. he was a good guy and didnt deserve the situation he was put in. i think hes suffering is over and he is now in a better place. everything he did to make this school and everyone happy will always mean the world to everyone. i think closure never really comes you just come to terms with what really happened. i guess reality just really sets in. overall nothing is the same without him. he was a good and kind person. he indeed is gone way to soon.
Rest In Peace Odarri , your smile and life lives on in all of us.
Take it a day at a time
I understand your emotions towards Odarri's passing because its definitly not easy dealing with a death of a very close friend who certainly didnt deserve to leave this world early. Though I didn't have any contact or communication with him, I saw him around the school and he looked like a great kid that was just nice to everyone no matter who you were. One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is "Odarri, you may be gone physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually, you are still with us. Thinking of all the good times we've shared, the conversations we've had and all other beautiful moments, brings back the smile to my face. I've never had such final closure to someone that was close to me in age or just plain... close." I think this was a great section in your writing because it accurately shows the connection you and Odarri had and how much you and everyone else close to him will miss him. It also shows how much you think about him and how he and his family will forever be in your prayers and hearts. I felt this was a great way to let go of all the emotions bottled up inside fo you. Writing is always the best way to show how you feel about something and yo did it in such a great way.
I Lovee Youu <3 Be Strong. & Take it all a day at a time
Rest in Paradise Odarri Lewis .
