I met Aram on the bus one day, while on my way home from work. As I jumped on the bus and entered, Aram and I immediately made eye contact. I sat across from him and gave him a compliment on his white Nike Cortez tennis shoes." We carried on a conversation on much we both had always been fonf of particularly, "all white plain tennis shoes," and the conversation carried on from there. Before getting off the bus, Aram asked for my number. He called me that same day and we spent the whole night talking on the phone together for hours. We fell in love. The next day, he wanted to meet up, so we did and shortly after that, Aram made ne his girlfriend. We were very happy with one another until Aram relapsed. I had began to see a darkside of Aram, which I had never seen before. He became very disrespecting towards me, and although I loved Aram very much; things just weren't the same between us...6months into the relationship, we ended it and then sooner than later; we were no longer friends. Aram leaves behind a beautiful Mother, an older Brother, a younger Sister, a Grandfather and a Son whom he never met before. Aram was Armenian. Last year Aram & I spent Christmas 2018 with his family. It had been his first Christmas with his family again in 12 years. His Mother prepared a feast of delicious Armenian food for us, where we exchanged gifts, and FaceTime other family members out of the country then ended the night by catching a movie. It felt like Christmas to him again. Thank you. My condolences go out to Aram's Mother and to all his family. May The Lord Jesus Christ comfort you all during this time of loss.
