I had the pleasure to know Dustin. I had the pleasure to see him smile, and hear him laugh. Oh dear sweet Dustin, you woul have never guess the number of people wholoved you unconditionally.
i have with me in my head a list of memories of you. a memory such as waking up late in the summer and having our marshmallow fights. :] The way you looked at Casey was something I have never seen before. You weren't just lucky to love her, she was lucky that you did. we used to tease on how you would...
