CARL!
When we first met you 8 years ago you were just a kid who
loved his mom and thought his dad was dead. You were sweet and didn’t want to
ever hurt anyone let alone kill another human but in the apoyloclise a boy has
to grow up. Unforantally you had to grow up faster than those your same age,
You killed Shane to protect your father, you came face to face with a deer and
had a moment of piece before you were shot and brought to Hersall’s farm, you
became quick friends with Michonne and after helping her give birth to your
sister you, out of pure love, killed your mother. Although you lost an eye
after getting shot (again) you never gave up hope.
Carl, you were the future of this new world but more
importantly you were the reason your father, Rick, did what he did. He cared
for and loved you and in doing so was able to help a group of good, fighting
men and women survive. I truly believe it was because of your friendship with
her that your father allowed himself to fall in love with Michonne.
Carl, your dad handed over his official sheriff’s hat to you
and you wore it every day with pride, you were a son to Rick and Lori and
brother to Judith (who you named) . A friend to Michanne, Enid and the rest of
Alexandria. You were a fighter against all those who would show you harm and
helped strangers when you believed one needed help. A killer of Walkers. And in
the end you believed in a better world.
Carl Grimes, I miss you but will never forget the boy who
grow to be a brave young man (in just months) and when all is said and done I
will never eat chocolate pudding in the same way again.
