They say in our lifetime we go through seasons. You shared many different seasons that you had in your life as I did with you. Many of these seasons are storms that during them we just don´t think we will make it through it. Our season together was short but very powerful! Jeff you came into my life just at the right time. I know this was an Act of God only because of what I was going through at that very moment. When you shared your past seasons with me I realized that what I´m going through was nothing in comparison. When I told you that you said to me that you couldn´t go through what I was. It shocked me, I was caught off guard. Jeff you coming into my life and allowing me to be your friend meant more to me than you will ever know. I´m glad I was man enough to actually tell you that in person. It´s rare for men to build a friendship such as ours. We were different in many ways yet similar in others. I just hope that I impacted your life as much as you did mine. There were times when you shared something very personal that I felt I didn´t know how to respond but somehow I found a way to find the words. I never understood how you saw me as a good man, I´m not use to hearing that. I know I´m being very vulnerable by writing this on here but I want people to know the impact you had on me. We met because of our love for Jeeps, just 2 regular dudes out here trying to get through life. Our jobs as truck drivers is a hard one that many people don´t understand. We were able to support each other daily. I´m happy to call you my brother although your Chinese LOL. Damn it man I already miss you. I don´t know how I´ll get through this season in my life without being able to call you. Remember man that there are no dispatchers that make it heaven so pick the biggest most comfortable rig they have. Enjoy riding you rig, Jeep & Harley on those Gold streets! Us other drivers have it from here, we will cover your loads so don´t be stressed out about it. I love you brother, God Bless you. God Bless your family. Bye for now my friend.
