la Vagabunda, as you might have already figured out, translates to "the vagabond" in Spanish. I prefer "the wanderer" by interpretation.

You and me Spain, let's do it!

My Man Accessory

My Dearest Landon,

Would you ever have thought that when we met that day at McAlister’s in Charlotte, when I was being a creeper and eaves dropping on your conversation with a co-worker about you starting your freshman year at App, that we would be sitting in Spain, drinking tinto de verano and eating pinchitos de pollo?
                
Would you ever have thought that when you were talking to that precious Mexican boy two summers ago on skype, that you would find true love?
                
Would you ever have thought that when I grabbed your tie that one night at Ashley’s crazy party, that we would be living life to the fullest here in Spain together?
                
Would you ever have thought that when you came to App, you would have made such wonderful, precious friends all over the world?
                
Would you ever have thought that your best “Malibu and Coke” would have been on the side of the beach in Portugal?
                
Would you ever have thought that you while you were shopping at Jordano’s and Nordstrom’s back home that you could be mystified by the magicalness that is Harrods?
                
Would you ever have thought that that night when we broke the closet door together, after you threw me up against it while we were dancing, that we would become peeing buddies and master the art of peeing on the streets of Spain together?
                
Landon, my love, you will never know the impact you had on my life, and the lives of every person you came in contact with. You loved living life, and you lived, profoundly, every day. From your seductive eyes, to your passion about politics. From your opinionated and stubborn beautiful mind that made everybody jealous, to your dreams and ambitions for making this world a better place. You had remarkable drive and a precious spirit. You are a beautiful man, from the inside out. From you I have learned to live life day by day and to follow my dreams to their fullest extent. You were a dream maker, my love. You had the power to make your dreams come true and that is what dictated every action of your life. You had a beautiful life my love.

I can only imagine that right now you jamming to your girls Lil Kim, Shakira and Lady Gaga where ever you are and buying lots of really ridiculously beautiful clothes that will make your ass look fantastic. Make sure you find someone who can help you make your wardrobe decisions and fix your scarves before I get to you.

You were Born This Way for a reason my dear. You were born to make an impact on all of our lives and your legacy will be one of joy, passion and determination. I know you wouldn’t want it said any other way than this, “Don’t hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you’re set, I’m on the right track baby, I was born this way.”

I want you to know, that where ever you are, keep my seat warm until I can be with you. Until then, you will never leave me. No me dejado, mi amor y un dia despues, Sale El Sol. Un beso de Sevilla, para ahora y para siempre. I love you.
