Happy 5th!

 

Five years ago this past Saturday (8/8) one of the best things ever happened. I would not trade the highs and lows of the past five years for anything.

Friends to the End . . .

I lost a friend and a friendship yesterday.

I cannot say that I am surprised. We've been drifting apart for quite some time. I'm not sure whether it was the distance, me not being there at times, or him shielding himself and pushing me away. All I know is that after 20 years, we are no longer.

I won't say that it didn't hurt, or hasn't been difficult. I honestly do not know what I'm supposed to feel in the end, though. Right now it's a mix of shock, sadness, befuddlement, and a bit of "whatever will be, will be."

I do hope he finds the peace he's looking for. I do hope we get the chance to reconnect someday.

I love you, bro.
