Its me. Raunakh. Two Years Later. It Hasn't Gotten Any Easier But I'm Living. I'm Gonna Make It. For You. I Still Miss And Love You As Much As I Did The Day You Left, And It Just Grows Stronger Everyday. Psalm 23:4, Even though I walk through the valley of death, I fear no evil, for you're with me. I Really Wish You Were Here.
My Name is Raunakh. Makai and his friends knew me as RJ. Makai was my friend since middle school. We were always great friends, and as we got older, we became closer. To the point where we would be with each other everyday. We got into our fair share of trouble as young crazy teenagers do, his mother always had it out for us, but even she saw how close we were, and how much we cared for each other. But throughout all that, he became my little brother. I always did my best to look out for him, anytime or anything. We knew that we had each others back to the fullest. Losing him was one of the worst things I've had to face in my life, never did I think I would lose someone I held so close. I always told him that it would be us in 50 years hanging out at our houses, having a good time as grown men. It breaks my heart that I will never get to share that with him and create more memories. I have an old photo of us as my background on my phone, I have his obituary in my room. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about how much easier a simpler life would feel if I still had him by my side making jokes, how much fun we had and genuinely the pure happiness he always made me feel. There was truly nobody I wanted to spend my time with other than him as a kid. I lost him just before I turned 18, and I know I have to face the rest of my adult years without him, which hurts me even more when I say it. But everything and anything I accomplish throughout my life will be because of the strength that he gives me when he's watching over me. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for the brotherhood I shared with Makai. I love and miss him very much, and will always hold him close to my heart wherever I go. Rest In Paradise The King Makai
