I REMEMBER YOUR IST BIRTHDAY AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY.  SITTING AT THE DININGROOM TABLE WITHJ BALLOONS STUCK TO YOUR HEAD FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY,  YOU WERE SO FUNNY

I'll never forget the day that you decided to cross Metropolitan Ave. and Steven told you not to.  You did it anyway and got hit by a car.  I looked out the window when I heard the brakes screach, and there you were lying in the middle of the street, not moving.  I feared the worst.  Steven was sitting on the curb say he told you so. It ended up that you broke your femur and they needed to put you in traction for a month.  They had to put a pin in your leg and when your doctor came to talk to me before the surgery, he said you wanted to stay awake and watch.  I couldn't imagine a 7 year old brave enough to endure that, but you were so excited I couldn't say no.  After it was done, you came out of the operating room so excited.  I'll never forget what you said "  That was so cool! There was smoke and everything."  Everyone at the hospital fell in love with you and when they made their kids playroom, they asked if you could pose for the pictures in the paper to advertise it.  Here they are cause I still have them.

My most memorable time of my best friend ( my dawg) is when I was out in the street, with no where to go and Sean made me feel like he was also in the same situation, just so he could stay out with me.  We sleep in this car that we all called the Hydroplane. It was an abandoned car that we would sit in to stay warm or smoke weedin. That moment I will never forget a true friend in action.  He was always there for me. Sometimes I wish I never went to California, maybe things would be different. But I try to just hold on to memories like this one to keep me going. I will never find another friend more genuine that Sean Connolly. I miss you dawg. I will see you when I get there. You are always in my heart & I love you always and forever.

                                                                 

 

One of the last memories I have of Sean was my friend Sue and I were watching the movie Sleepless in Seattle and every time a song came on during the movie Sean would dance in front of the tv so silly that we couldn't help but laugh even though we wanted to see what was going on.  To this day, I can't watch that movie without balling my eyes out.
