Hey Sean, it’s been six years or so. Probably close to seven when we last talked. I’ve been reflecting on my life a lot, and you come into mind as someone I truly wish I connected with more. I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships in my life - the ones that I’ve lost to time over the years, ones I’ve let go, ones where others have let me go. I just feel like we had so much more in common than I ever really knew. You were one of the few people who was always nice to me and someone who I feel would have always had my back if you knew I was in a jam. And it’s not like we talked a lot, we were in different circles. But we came from the same place and always had that in common. I just always have wished there’s more I could’ve done. I deal with similar mental battles every day, ones I’m proud I’ve worked on. But back then, I had the thoughts of just being done with it all again and again. I didn’t think I had anyone. It all just feels lousy. I wish we had a stronger connection, and I often wish we re-connected now, in our mid 20s or so. I wish I wasn’t so angry then. And I wish I didn’t make being angry and contrarian my personality, as an excuse to push everyone away. If I was then who I am now, I feel like maybe we’d be in touch more. Maybe I’d be in touch more with the good people I met, but isolated myself from because I was insecure and afraid anyone would want to be friends. I’d rather have that loneliness be self-imposed than something outside my control. Why do I post this here? I don’t know. You felt like someone I could always talk to. We didn’t always sit together at lunch or hang out everyday, but again, we came from the same place and battled the same demons. It makes me sad when I realize you aren’t out right now making a difference in your community, serving your country like you had planned or just around making people laugh like you always could. The energy was always infectious. I always wonder “what’s next” after this life, and I hope it’s good. I’ve never bought into religion, but a part of me wants “heaven” to be real. Overall though, I hope you found the solace and peace of mind you yearned for. And I hope in some way we connect again. I’m not sure what you ever thought of me, if you even ever did. And if you didn’t, that’s fine. But I’ll tell you what I’d tell a lot of people. I’m sorry for pushing you away and I’m sorry I didn’t make more of an effort to put myself out there. But, I guess that’s part of learning and growing. I don’t live with a regret, as much as looking back on some things with hindsight. I’ve been away from home a long time and there’s a lot of good people I wish I connected with more. And you’re absolutely one of them. Before I go on and on, I just want to say that again, I hope you’re okay. I still remember when I heard the news six years ago. Just breaks my heart. But you come into my mind every so often. And most importantly I guess I just wanted you to know that. Maybe I’m not the person you wanted to remember all these years later, but I’m here. Rest In Peace, Sean. I really mean it.

I'll always remember Sean's kindness and sense of humor. His laughter was contagious and could make an entire room laugh. Everyone who knew him could tell at least one funny story about him, if not many more. May he find his peace in the afterlife. He'll always be one of the few that I sincerely and truly called a friend.
