In his short life
of fourteen years,
Bones has endured enough
degradation and pain
to last a lifetime.

In spite of all this,
the one thing that Bones
wants to do
more than anything,
is live a long and fruitful life.

He has dreams
like any other kid
from this poor,
God forsaken hood,
perhaps a few more
than the other kids.

He’d love to marry
a pretty girl like Griselda,
and have a bunch of kids
of his own.

Yes.
That’s what Bones wants,
he wants to live.

Thanks dear Juli,

I remember Bones as always having a very positive attitude. He was always full of life, and fun.

Love Bobby

it is hard to kill true hope...thanks for letting us see this through Bones' eyes...a bittersweet tragedy, if there ever was one
