I will miss you, old soul. We found each other by accident or necessity I suppose. You were my brother and my friend but I was neglectful of you. Hoping you'd improve but never intervening and never doing my part to offer up time when it was needed. I will miss you dearly and am so sorry I didn't make myself more available as a friend. I hope god smiles upon you and your journey continues and I might meet you again one day.

I only wish that I was not so far away. Although we have not talked in a long time, you all are very close to my heart. Hugs to each and every one of you, my love, support, and prayers go out to you.
