Aaron Marcus Stratz

Aaron I love you so much. You have always been the ultimate friend and cousin any girl could ever ask for. The years we have spent so close, the many memories we've created, the strong bond we have always shared, the nativity plays and baths at Grammy's with her orange tupperware and rubber duckies, the many endless easter egg hunts that you always won... I'll always miss these most.
"I know this really isnt you,
I know your heart is somewhere else,
And I'll do anything I can
To help you break out of this spell.
I see you following your crowd
I know your trying to fit in..
But if your gonna find yourself,
You gotta start from deep, deep within.

Hold on to what you believe.

I will always be your friend
I know who you are inside.
I am with you till the end,
Never Far Behind.
I am standing in the distance,
You can take your time,
And I will be there waiting,
Never Far Behind.

Never Far Behind.

I am sending you a message,
Don't ever think that its too late.
When you care about someone..
There is always room for change.
You're allowed to make mistakes,
Its a part of every life,
I don't see you every different,
The truth is shining in your eyes.

Hold On To What You Believe.

I will always be your friend,
I know who you are inside,
I am with you till the end,
Never Far Behind.
I am standing in the distance,
You can take your time,
And I will be there waiting,
Never Far Behind.

Never Far Behind.

You can take your time,
And I know,
From my heart,

I will always be your friend.
I know who you are inside.
I am with you till the end,
Never Far Behind.
I am standing in the distance,
You can take your time,
And I will be there waiting,
Waiting by your side,
God
Is never far behind.

I am sending you a message.."

Aaron you will always be in my heart; I have been so blessed to have had you in my life. I'll never think of my backseat, my family-room couch, holidays (who will eat the Thanksgiving turkey drumsticks?), the Huntington pier, Chronic Taco, or most of all waking up to you snuggling in my bed after a huge movie marathon sleepover, the same...I hope I'll never forget any of it. Please wait for me Air-Bear....be at my wedding, my graduation, my everything. Tell me when I'm making a huge mistake....don't lose what we have. Rest in peace.
"Hell-uh?"

aaron, i just woke up and last night i had a dream about you and it was so real.

--it started when shayne called me and asked for you guys to come over. and you guys did ..and you shayne and me went on a ride bike. and at first me and shayne couldnt see you but you were there. and then as soon as you got on the bike. you were there. we could see you and touch you and everything. and i asked my parents when we where in my garage if they can see you. and my mom said kinda but not really. it was amazing. you looked the same. you talked the exact same.. and it was the present. and we would ask you questions about things like if you knew it happened . and you knew alot. and we would stop riding to talk to you. and i couldnt stop hugging you. i couldnt believe that me and shayne were the only ones who could touch you and see you. and you smelt so good. and the exact same liek you always did. it was so real aaron. --and then you had to go because my mom told me that i had to come in. and we were in my garage. and i was like aaron. come over at least once a week to see me. and shayne can come to. and you were like caitlin i will.. then you guys left. and i woke up.. i woke up so shocked. it was so real aaron. i wish i didnt wake up. i could sleep forever with that dream..

i miss you so much.

love you always
see you soon
