My Heart = Sad.

Widnell "Dell" Geffrard.

Passed away November 20, 2008.

It's a shame, but I'm just finding out about this. I first met Dell at my friend's cookout back home in Miami right before I moved to Atlanta. I knew he was younger, but he was so attractive to me and he seemed to be such a cool dude. I wanted to get to know him a little better, but he left the cookout early due to some plans.

Just recently, I found him on Myspace and I was so excited to get in touch with him. I read thru his whole page and was getting to know him all over again, I realized that he had moved to Orlando to go to school and fulfill his dreams of being a professional photographer, though he had already began his company "Crystal Clear Images." He was a dude that was VERY close to God and was never afraid to show it. Determined to succeed and always get money...the legal way. All that, but you can tell he wasn't no sucka. He had swagg lol...he was funny, a real neutral type of dude. No time for drama, too busy getting money. That type. I was so proud reading thru his page. I got so excited to get to talk to him again. As I was reading through his page, I finally got down to his top friends and I saw a lot of them had "R.I.P Dell" as their display names. I'm thinking, ahh...it's another Dell. Then, I got to his comments and my heart sank. The person who I had gotten all excited to talk to and converse with all over again, is no longer here.

Gone.

I read thru all his comments to see exactly when this happened...there was a comment on November 18th with someone saying " I can't wait for this weekend! We're gonna have so much fun" and on November 20th, people were commenting saying "I can't believe this. I was just with you yesterday." I was in tears reading these comments. Not only was it sad, but I fell in love with the type of person he is/was just by reading his page. No, not that kind of "in love" but...well, for my readers; you know how when you read a fictional book, you get all into the characters and start to place yourself as your favorite character? You cry at certain points of the book and you laugh as if it actually just happened for real? That's kind of how I felt reading his page. His personality made me laugh, the way he loved God gave me shivers & his beautiful photography made me smile. Not only that, but he is CRAZY! His personality seems so awesome lol. I was really excited to get to know him, if you can't tell by now. For some reason, this boy really touched me and I never even got a chance to know him. I've been asking God for the past few days, "What is it? Why is he still to this day, on my mind? Why did I go to his page? Why did I have to find out?" I can't even explain in this super long blog the feelings going thru my soul right now. I hardly knew him yo...and I feel like someone just told me one of my bestfriends died...

I'm really affected. My spirit is stirred up and my heart is so saddened :( I barely knew him, but something about him...his aura sent off a presence of someone automatically loved. He was the person that you couldn't help to love and if you hated him, you loved to hate him because everyone else loved him so much.

Indeed, some haters hated. They tried to steal his car from him in a Taco Bell drive thru. He resisted, they shot him. His car drove into a fence. Dead on the scene.

Love you babe. Rest in Peace.
