"I'm Lovin' It"

Day 9.1

What is it that we remember when we think of Ronald? I think everyone who knows him very well would agree with me on this. It was his sense of humor. He was the kind of person that would make everyone laugh so hard that they’d end up crying. Who could forget about his two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, all on a sesame seed bun? How about all his shakes and delicious fries?  Goodness! Just thinking about those fries makes my mouth water.  . That is what I will truly miss about Ronald. He could make me hungry when I had already had lunch. He always cheered me up when he knew I just had a bad day. That’s the trademark of Ronald. No, it wasn’t just the golden arches, it was more…..he always wanted to make people happy.

Ronald’s death was sudden. I remember when I heard the news I simply could not believe it. Ronald was too young but as it slowly occurred to me I have realized that Ronald indeed lived his life wonderfully. Ronald was well-loved and he had done so many things on earth and I’m sure he’ll do much more in heaven. I will forever be grateful to have known Ronald. I will forever be grateful that Ronald was there at the right place and at the right time, always ready with a friendly smile, a 32oz soda and soft serve ice cream. I will forever be grateful for spending over 30 years of my life with a friend like him. All the memories I have shared with him will forever be cherished and remembered. Ronald will forever live in my heart… In our hearts.

Ronald is in heaven now and we are here on his funeral. This is not the time for us to grieve his death but it’s our time to celebrate his life. Don’t ever forget Ronald. He never wanted to see people cry. He wanted to make everyone happy. So at this moment when we are about to lay his body to rest, let’s all think back and remember how Ronald touched our lives. How he made us laugh and how good Ronald was as a person. This is not the moment for us to shed our tears but we should all be thankful that we were given the chance to have known Ronald.

Ronald will forever be missed but I know in the right time, I will meet Ronald again. We will all meet Ronald. As Ronald always said, we deserve a break today. May you enjoy your break Ronald.
