Pokemon.
 
I think i was six when i first met Temo at your house, 10 years ago. He was as goofy then as he was last time i saw him. I met him and thought he was the coolest guy ever, and to this day i still think that. Temo, yourself and i would sit on your couch and watch Pokemon every time i would come over! I miss those days. We visited often and one day i had Pokemon tattoos! Your favorite was Digglet so of course i gave it to you. Temo's favorite was Jiggly Puff (which i always thought ironic). I gave it to him and he put it on as soon as he got it. I got a call from him about two weeks later and told me that it had washed off and he was so happy that it lasted that long. That is one of my first memories of Temo. 
 
and another

New Years 2008.
Of course, I was out with my friends so i did not see him, but i did get a call from him at 2 o'clock in the morning. He called from my mom's phone. 
"Hey mom..." 
"HEY ZO! IT'S NOT YOUR MOM IT'S TEMO!"
"HEY!"(just his voice brightened my day)
"I was just checking to see what mischief you were getting into."
"Ha... Nothing Temo, just about to go to bed actually."
"Well, I'm at your house and your not here..."
"Yeah I'm at a friends.."
"Alright Zo, I'll let you hang out with them i just was calling to say i miss you."
"I miss you too Temo. See you soon?"
"Yes, but Zoey? I love you."
"Love you too, Temo."
"Bye"
 
I saw him a few days later.
 
I remember coming home from hanging out with Brian and Temo was there and i just ran over and gave him a hug. He was telling stories about skating in a 14 story parking garage in Dallas, last time he was there, and how there was no way he would pass that up. We giggled because he was escorted out of the garage by an angry security guard. Then we started talking about is Tattoos. He was going to get work done on one of them the next day. He showed me a beautiful piece on his back of a coy and water and flowers. This man, was by far one of the most amazing people in the world. His heart was so big and he was so genuine. Temo I miss you. I love you.
