Four years man. Wow. I remember calling you and asking whether you thought me moving to Texas was a good idea. Now I’ve been living here and call it home. You’ve been very heavy on my heart lately my friend: I miss you, but memories provide a lot of comfort. Thinking of Patty, Bruce, Anna, and of course the kids today. What a wonderful father he would have been.

I can’t believe we are coming up on 4 years. I’m planning on going camping in memory of you the weekend of the 19th. What an amazing friend you were. Think of you often. I know your spirit guides Eva and Lily, comforts Bruce and Patty. The memories we shared do that for me.

I'll miss your smile, listening to Tupac, the way you reclined into the back seat when we rode in my Jeep, and your passion for life.
