I think about you every single day buddy. I remember when you were the new kid and I made it my mission to make sure you had at least one good friend in the beginning. We became pretty close. I ended up having to move away, and later on you did too. I remember that day I got a text from a random instagram account. And all I saw was "hey it´s Daron" never got a response back when I answered. Maybe a week or two later I´m talking to another buddy I hadn´t talked to in years. He let me know what happened. And I can´t for the life of me figure out why Daron texted me right before. I´ve wanted to know more for years. But I don´t think I ever will. But I truly do miss you and I truly think about you every single day. I would share some old photos of us but unfortunately I lost those on an old phone. I´ll see you again one day. -b
