A Shrine to my Hero Andrew Berrigan!

**NOTICE: Andrew Berrigan is not or WILL Never be a sissy boy! All emotions and mushiness found on this site are purely MY feelings only (and I'm a hopeless weirdo.. Andrew does not or will not ever wear pink fluffy bunny slippers and when he told me to tone down the mushyness on my site.. I told em to stick a pickle up his butt.. so any teasing he may get from this site is NOT MY FAULT!!! ***DISCLAIMER LOCATED AT BOTTOM OF PAGE***

Andrew Berrigan is my hero, he's my friend, my insperation. He made me who I am today. It wasn't his kind and sweet nature, his love, his cute analogies, it wasn't his handsome voice, and it wasn't his wise yet long stories. What Andrew did to change me was to be my friend. He was the most perfect person I've ever met. He was smart, he had the wisest air about him. I wanted to know what that felt like. I wanted to be, just like him. He was my mentor, my hero, my brother, my insperation, but most of all; he was my friend. (And Andrew, if you ever discover this page, I want you to know that you were the best thing that ever happened to me, and even though we are no longer close like we use to be, I still love you and I think about you and how you would handle the things I come up against. Your my insperation.)

ANDREW THE ANGEL - Andrew was my angel, he showed me what life truly meant. I have a better understanding of life now, and I understand many of it's problems. I thank Andrew for that, I thank Andrew Berrigan for everything. He gave me the only warmth and light that I had in a dark dreary and cold word, and for that I thank him. Because I needed someone, and he was there. Andrew Berrigan is a man that everyone deserves to have known, he was a heaven sent angel, who came down to me and showed me the error of my ways. He was "THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS" He made me whole, and he held me up like an eagle is held up by the wind. And yet my mother still to this day is angry at me for finally coming out and telling the truth. I wouldn't take it back for all the money in the world. Because your an Angel Andrew Berrigan, and that's exactly what you shall always be.

THE ME TODAY - I use to be shy, I use to be cold, I use to lock my heart away in a tiny box so that no one could ever hurt me. But I'm no longer like that. I love life now. Where I use to hide from all troubles, I now welcome them, because nothing can get me down. Life is a game, and I intend to win. With Andrews help I realized that, I realized that I don't want to die alone, and now, I won't. I'm no longer shy and I love talkin on the phone now, where before talkin on the phone scared me to death. I always hear Andrews voice everywhere, and I can't help almost crying because I miss his guidence so very much. Andrew is my light, and now, I'm walking alone in the darkness. But slowly I'm learning how to lead my own life, and I'm not afriad. I have a job now, and this June or July I'll be going to St. Louis, by myself to a internet convention. I'll be staying with a 19 year old friend there, and to tell you the truth... I can't wait! I find Andrew in everything I do now, In every day that I go to college, I remember he was the one that got me interested in going to college. In every day I talk on the phone, I remember he was the one that got me comfortable with the phone. In every day that I flirt with the guys in my classes, I remember Andrew Berrigan was the one who got me comfortable enough to do that. I just wish I could tell him how much he effected my life. I even wrote an essay about him that (After school today, I'll be posting up here) Andrew, I always wanted to be "A part of your world" and now.. I'm creating my own world. I'd turning into you, and I love it.
