[ to an incredible man ]

   within him, there is a world of potential that awaits. things that people ought to learn from him. things that should be passed on. a man worth a million words that others should have the time with. he's another person that everyone would benefit from being around.

   he's always been a solid structure.

   someone i knew i could always depend on. will always depend on.

   calm and confident.

   a quiet and peaceful demeanor. not overly talkative, not one who says much - but when he does, people listen. it's something worth hearing.

[ tribute to an amazing woman ]

   she's one of those people that i just love to brag about to my friends.

   you know what i mean?

   these people are just so cool that the whole world has to know about them. they've got the greatest qualities and the best presence about them that everyone should experience.

   she's got this laugh that will light up the room. it travels around spaces, bringing its warmth wherever it passes and leaves a presence behind. sometimes she starts giggling after having said something really silly or ridiculous, and it only takes a look from me to set her off laughing again. she gets this kind of crooked face that says "what?", smiling at the same time. it's like a fox who has just stolen your eggs but acts like he's done nothing wrong.
