I did not have much to say yesterday....When I got the news that Silas86 had passed away....it hit me like a ton of bricks. I think a part of me went into shock when Teresa told me. I cried most of the afternoon. His voice and his laugh were ringing in my head like a steel drum. I had plenty of memories flashing through my head all at once and it was so overwhelming. How was I to go on in a world without my beloved Silas? Now people think you cannot get close to someone on the internet but that's not true at all. I've gotten to know some of the greatest people and have made the greatest friends because of the Internet.
Silas was a once in a lifetime friend. There will never be another him. God broke the mold. Except for the last month Silas was alive, I got a message from him every single day. He would check on me even when he was the one who was sick. He would always call me sweetie, hun, etc. I was convinced that Silas did not know my name haha! He'd always ask how I was, How his nephews were, etc etc etc. Silas, amylou8251, and I would have the best dance parties on this website that's name escapes me! It was one of those where you went into a room and youtube videos played. You could pick the songs. Silas was honestly a ball of sunshine every single day. Never had a bad word to say about anyone even if they were the shittiest person on the planet. He was one that I knew was always in my corner and always had my back. I feel so selfish for saying this but 2 years was not enough for me. I didn't get enough time. I am so blessed that I was allowed this chance to get to know one of the best people to have ever lived. Silas, your vibrant personality, contagious laugh, kind words, and friendship got me through many rough times. You were such a treasure to have for a friend. We were all so lucky to have known you, loved you, and had you love us. You've left a group of people completely devasted and we're unsure how to go on, move on, rebuild, etc. I don't wanna move on because I feel like by moving on it's like I am forgetting you and I could never forget you. Your legacy speaks for its self. If you weren't all of these things, then people would not be hurting today and feeling the way they are. On April 28th, 2016 I lost a friend, brother, and confidant. I will miss you everyday that I am alive, Silas. I will always think about you and all of our good times. Rest In Paradise, my sweet friend. Thank you for being the friend that you were and putting a little bit of sunshine in all of our lives.
If I didn't look like Rudolph, I would plus this in a heartbeat. Silas will never be forgotten, especially given how kind and gentle he was as a person.
