Perhaps the man in the gutter is not so different from you.

Dear Tony

I want to write about my friend Tony tonight. For those of you who do not know him, I wish you did. In fact, I wish Tony could be video taped every single day and every single person in the world watched his video every day. If that were the case, what the world would be seeing every day would be the life of one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. Tony is the type of person the world needed as soon as he was born, still needs him right now, as long as he lives, and for some reason I feel like the world is still going to need him after our generation has come to pass. He is literally, I mean that, the brightest person I know. I can find absolutely no flaw in him. The power of his brain is unbelievable. I don’t care how easy he makes it seem, being number one in the class takes something special. And whatever that special thing is, Tony was made with more than enough of it. He refuses to let it go to his head though. Modesty is a trait that not enough people have. Sometimes I think that it is because it was sucked out of the people without it and it was placed inside of Tony’s heart, one of the biggest hearts in the whole world too. I think it goes unnoticed by most people because they are blown away by how smart he is, but Tony is one of the sweetest, most compassionate people I know. This kid is seriously perfect, I swear. And he is hilarious. His humor is such a unique style that is drives me crazy too. He will say something so random sometimes that it makes complete sense in the context of his joke. And he has a wicked laugh impression of the guy who says, “gnarly!” from Spongebob. What surrounds Tony is nothing but a blindingly positive aura. He will never say anything bad about a person, and he only speaks the truth. He is SO kindhearted, so respectful, and so brilliant that I want to have kids who are just like him. Hopefully they will be as adorably Asian as him too. What I love about Tony the most, though, is the essence of his soul. He has the most natural purity I think I have ever come across in a person. He is completely, 100 percent straight-edged. Like, I don’t even think Tony knows what straight-edged means because he is such a good person that he never has to think about not being straight-edged. His integrity and trust levels are something from out of this world. I don’t know where he gets it from, but I hope he reads this eventually because this goes out with the intention of finding its way to Tony. And Tony, I don’t care where you are at the moment but I hope you feel loved while I write this because I know for sure that there is one person thinking about you right now, and that’s me! So, thank you for being everything that you are, and I sincerely hope that you are never anything but yourself because you are everything that everyone needs in their life. I mean honestly, who doesn’t like a little Tony in their life?
