One year without Ronnie J.
I've been trying to find my picture box from high school, but it's been packed away or is somewhere I've haven't thought to check yet. A few days after he died, I went into my room and there, on my nightstand, sat a single photo. I cried when I turned it over and saw his 15 year old face staring at me.
Still quite not sure how we made it here.
There's not much I can say that I haven't said in the past year, to be honest. But I will say this: I miss you every day, Ronnie. I love you to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond, and back to my heart again. Thank you for your friendship, your strength, your heart, and love. Thank you for every memory, every lesson learned, and even the rare fight. Thank you for being apart of my life, brother; without having known you, I'd be a completely different person and I'm not sure if I'd like her.
Today my community celebrates Ronnie Joseph Pallares: son, brother, friend, and soldier.
(born) October 28th, 1990
(killed in action) October 23rd, 2010.
Forever loved and forever missed by those who knew and loved you best.
