JoJo…
The first time I met you, my walls came down and that’s not something I let happen often. There was just something about you.
Your eyes always seemed calm and kind, with a softness that made it easy to look at you. They had a spark that matched the way you smiled, like you were always about to laugh or take off on another adventure.
And your smile… man, that smile. It was one of those smiles that could light up a moment without even trying. The kind that made you smile back before you even realized it. I can still picture it like it was yesterday.
The first time we exchanged phone numbers is a moment I’ll always cherish. Everything about it happened so naturally, so smoothly. (You probably just wanted to drive my car… 😂 Just kidding!)
I remember pulling up to your dad’s house, hopping out, tossing you the keys, and saying, “Let’s go for a ride!”
You looked at me with that huge grin and said, “Ooh, hell yeah!”
I can still see that smile.
Then you took me to a car wash and started washing my Camaro. I laughed and asked what you were doing, and you said, “I’m cleaning my baby. I can’t be seen driving a dirty Camaro!”
I just shook my head and said, “OMG… you’re something else.”
And dammit… you really were something else.
We tore up the streets that night, talked for hours, and made memories I’ll never forget.
Out of all the things life gives us, sometimes it’s the simplest moments a smile, a late-night drive, a clean Camaro, and conversations that lasted until morning that stay with us forever.
I’ll always be grateful that I got to know you.
Rest easy, JoJo. ❤️🏁
Love you forever
