The world is a lesser place and it has been deminished with Justy's departure. I have known Justin since he was 13 - and we shared bad times and good - it wasn't one sided - I could write pages and pages about him yet are there any words in any language to describe adquately a young man with such a beautiful heart? Right now Justy just hurts too much so I'm just going to snag a couple of paragraphs out of that letter I sent you for you dad Christmas 2000 - I know Justy that it wasn't your intention to leave us - I wish I knew some words that could ease the pain of all your friends and lessen the devastation that your family is going through - but there arn't any - not in any spoken language - all I can say is I'll see yu'all when I see yu'all my little okie friend - I'm a better and wiser person for having known you Justin -
The rest is a letter that was addressed to Justy's dad from me December 26th 2000. I don't know if Justy passed it on to him or not - but I do hope his Dad gets to read it now and all the other nice words from so many whose life's justin touched one way or another.
There are two words that come to mind when I think of Justin and neither term is an exaggeration of who your son is. They are prodigious (a child of highly unusual talent or genius) and precocious (developed or matured to a point beyond that which is normal for the age). As I explained earlier in this letter, I became aware of Justin due to his posts on some message/advice boards Your son has demonstrated over and over again that he is a kind, caring, compassionate young man, who has wisdom far beyond his chronological age. When one reads Justin's posts whether they are just informative or with advice to another, they demonstrate not only the response from a kind, compassionate individual who truly cares, they also reflect a thought process, ability to communicate his thinking and a wisdom of content, where one would honestly believe that they were dealing with a mature and wise adult. To then find out that these posts were the expressions of a fourteen year old adolescent was almost beyond comprehension. He has quite often taken the time to try and help others who are having some sort of difficulties or crisis in their life's - and his efforts to help others have been unconditional and selfless. He truly has a beautiful heart.
I realize of course that in day to day life you see Justy with many of the normal and sometimes irritable traits of any adolescent boy, but let me assure you if you have not seen or are unaware of this other side of him, he is without a doubt one of the most intelligent, sensitive, caring young men that I have ever had the privilege to come into contact with.
I am going to end this letter now, with my last little bit of advice - BE PROUD OF YOUR SON FOR HE IS INDEED A FINE YOUNG MAN (and although he may not be with us now in this physical form - wherever that astral place wherever his home now is HE IS INDEED A FINE YOUNG SPIRIT - AND SHOULD YOU READ THIS SIR, FATHER OF OUR FAVORITE OKIE - BE PROUD OF HOW YOU RAISED HIM, AS A RESULT YOU HAVE A FINE YOUNG SON TO BE PROUD OF - AND SOMEDAY YOU WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN IT'S LOVE THAT LINKS OUR SOULS AND LOVE LIKE GOD IS INDESTRUCTIBLE AND FOREVER!
