Can't Be Witty Today

My friend who passed away earlier this year would have turned 30 yesterday.

...

I can't even begin to wrap my brain around that. It still seems completely unreal at times... almost impossible that someone I've known all my life is gone.

It's odd the things that'll spark him to memory though. Almost anything can do it.

I sat at the Bridge School Benefit watching Pearl Jam with a tear in my eye thinking how much he would have loved to be there.

I get e-mails from Master Replicas about their latest Star Wars collectible coming out and smile thinking how quickly he would have ordered it.

I see the Harry Potter trailer online and feel a bit of sadness that he'll never get to see how that story wraps up.

It's been a tough year for me... lots of changes personally and professionally. Turning 30 myself in about a month so that's always a... well, I guess "milestone" is a word to use.

But we continue to live. We smile, we cry... we perservere and live our lives the way we think is best. And hopefully the way he would have liked it.

We'll be getting together on Saturday night to play some poker and drink a whole hell of a lot, I'd imagine.

Just the way he would have liked it.

We miss you, buddy... and we'll never forget you.
