For Sean's birthday, I've pulled together some thoughts. In no way am I a writer, but I'd like to share my thoughts anyway. And encourage anyone else to do so for Sean. for Sushi and Dave. for Cameron. for Darlene. for Dan and Adam and Dave. and for everyone that ever was touched by Sean.

Weeks have past
since I've heard your voice.

Yet, I feel your smile
playing on every grain of sand.

I see your golden orange curls
on the shells.

And your life
swimming through the waves.

Such as if your tanned body
had never left the beach.

I am reminded of your youth,
constantly laughing,
when I chase the breeze
with my fingers.

You are everywhere
like you've always been.
You are everything
like you were always supposed to be.

I don't refuse to let go of you:
The memories are ever spirited
and the feelings are divine.

From nowhere I feel a warmth
and I know it is you,
I recognize your friendship.

I remember you,
your vibrancy is here
and it does not frighten me.

I will let go of you:
letting the human be washed away
out with the sand and footprints of a day.

but I will hold on to you:
keeping the angel
forever present
as a halo to all whose heart you've graced.

Rest In Peace Brother

I don't know what to say. Sean Keys was an amazing friend whom I'm lucky to have known more than half my life, a person that would do anything for a friend and would do anything for somebody in need. I'm glad I was able to know Sean, I'm glad that I was able to call him a friend, a brother, I'm glad we were close.

I wanted to do something for Ms. Susan and Darlene and everyone that is close to Sean. This is really the only thing that I could come up with. I know that the guestbook in the Times Union expires after a couple of days, this site will be permanent for anyone that want to remember Sean ever. So I encourage people to send in pictures, I can post them here and we can all share them forever. To remember Sean will immortalize him.
