I’m Just Me

I’m not perfect, I’m me, I’ve made bad decisions and wrong choices but I’m me. I’ve said the wrong things, I’ve said the right things because I am me. I don’t like everything I’ve done but I did it because I’m me, I loved the wrong people and trusted the wrong and I’m still me. If I had the chance to change, to start over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Why? Because I’m me. There are a lot of good things about me, you just need to look past the imperfections to see what’s right if you can’t do that then it’s your loss. I’m the best me I can be because God made me, ME!

The family of Lawrence Lucero Jr. sincerely appreciates all of the support and kindness during this time, they also would like to thank all of his friends and family that supported him through all of the ups and downs he experienced.
