Titus,it was a pleasure knowing and working with you. You were a big guy with even a bigger heart. May you rest in paradise
My Dear Sweet Titus,
I foolishly thought that we had more time on earth, now I'm recalling the times that we did share as unforgettable, rightfully so, Twin Flame.
From the moment that we met, you gave me a peek into that gigantic heart of yours that you kept hidden from the world and I welcomed you in my loner world as if we'd known each other for a lifetime.
We were more than neighbors, more than friends. Your physical presence, Frank's barking and your truck parked out front was a trademark of home to me. For however long that I decide to keep this house, (that you say I rebuilt with your tools, LOL) Wabash will never be the same.
Your precious life has taught me so much; to make known my desires, to face my vulnerabilities, to not be so stubborn, and to never, ever, again take TIME for granted. Thank you, Sir.
I've thought about the moment that you left this realm, became present in the spirit, and reunited with your Mom and Brother. How wonderful that must have been for you as it hurt you so to lose them. Although I selfishly want you here to grow old with us and realize your dreams and goals, I'd rather you be whole again with them.
In all of the sadness that I currently feel, I am eternally grateful for your birthday 2019, the day we officially met as "friendly neighbors". Also, I am forever grateful for you accepting me into your home, your life, for all of the meals and conversations we've shared, for the kisses and the bear hugs. For you critiquing my food and me yours, for the long nights and early mornings just talking and talking. For you popping up telling me to open the door out of nowhere. For our dates that I never wanted to admit that we were on, because you never officially asked me out. For your promises made and secrets shared. For you never apologizing for who you were, and for your telling that you were trying. And most of all, for your giving me hell just because it made you laugh to see my reaction. (Childish! Lol) I find myself smiling, even laughing daily at the memories of your complete disregard for my feelings with the things that you would say to me, then we'd both get a good laugh. Our laughs were more often than not, that's sure and your genuine sensitivity was present when it mattered the most.
I miss you greatly yet, I know this is not the end for us. Your wit, wisdom and life lessons will remain in my heart. You're my Big Bully Angel now, protecting me every day of this life.
I will keep Pops, your sisters, and Angel in my thoughts and meditations along with the rest of the family and The World Travellers Crew as I know that you'll be watching closely over them too.
Until we meet again Porcupine, I love you forever and ever. Next TIME we'll get it RIGHT, I promise.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
