Rummaging through some newspaper clips today I came across a paper. It is a printout from my old dot matrix printer, way back in 199... Early nineties anyway. I recognized it immediately. Words from my late nephew Marco. We used spend time together and do things. One of the times we were together he had homework to do. And I suggested for him using the computer. Marco had to write about someone he admired.
These are his own words: “The reason why I chose the slogan “Life is short play hard,” is because that my favorite player, Emmit Smith from the Dallas Cowboys, is in a Reebok commercial using this slogan.
What the slogan means to me is that life is too short and you should give it your best shot at what you are doing. Like in the commercial by Reebok Emmit Smith works and work at training in the preseason. So that he can do to his best ability in a game, and he never slacks off.”
By reading your words my Marco I was very sad. You were so young when you wrote this and you were so young when you left us. Now as I am sharing this with others, family and friends I realize that you are not gone far away and forever, you are close by and still alive in the hearts and minds of people who will always love you very much. I am crying, I am smiling and winking at you.
