I wish I knew about you long before,
I only found out about you through a friend.
And even though you are no longer with us,
I'm so glad I found you when I did.
When I watched you story last night,
For some reason I was extremely happy.
I think it's because I've always wanted,
Someone to show the world how it really is,
I'm so glad it was you,
Even though I haven't met you,
Your smile and laughter is infectious.
I'm positive that you'll always be a ray of sunshine to all that knew you.
We all know you're in our hearts.
I kinda feel silly writing this now,
But I just had to after watching you story.
I should probably introduce myself,
I'm Nicole Madsen and I have Cerebral Palsy.
I'm beyond grateful to you Darius,
For sharing your story with the world.
And for sending the message that we all want the world to get.
As you said yourself,
"Don't be a bump on the wall."
Your story has really helped me,
You reminded me to not be a bump.
You re-awakened a dream of mine,
And now I want it more than ever.
Thank you Darius,
For being a amazing example.
Rest in peace my dear friend,
You will be sorely missed by those lives you've touched and changed.
We love you.
