What would you do...?
Kevin Arnold...you inspire me. You will never know me, but I will always know you. I have spent the last six and a half hours watching you, learning about you, wishing I could have had your life.
You, like all other kids, had to go to school. You, like all other kids didn't like it most of the time. You, like all other kids, lived life to the best of your ability.
You, Kevin Arnold, had your ups. You, Kevin Arnold had your downs. What is important is you had friends. What is important is you had family. What is important is you had love.
You and Paul Pfifer knew each other since you were little. Though you tried hard at times, like the time his dad got some money that your dad missed out on, to sever this life long bond you could not. You saw Paul for who he was. You knew Paul for who he would be.
Kevin Arnold, you had a mother who loved you and a father who worked hard for you. Kevin Arnold, you had a sister who showed you a life different from your own. Kevin Arnold, you had a brother who wasn't what you were, but excelled at it. Kevin Arnold, you had a grandfather who to help himself sold you your first car and his last for a buck.
It began with Becky Slater and ended with Inga. Becky started a war with you. Inga started a peace. In between you had others, like Caroline who mourned for your grandmothers liver. In between you had others, like Kara who was like a puff of smoke...gone in an instant. In between you had others, like Julie who left you no room for Duke. But the beginning doesn't matter and the in betweens can be forgotten. It is what you walked away with that counts.
Winnie Cooper. You, Kevin Arnold, met her the day your brother locked you out in the rain. She wore her yellow rain coat and yellow rain hat. You were with her when the war took her brother. You were with her when fights took her father. You were even with her when acting brought her father home. You, Kevin Arnold, got Winnie Cooper.
Friends, family, ups, and downs. We have them all. For some of us they work, for some of us they don't. I am happy to say Kevin Arnold, for you...they work.
