me and ericChewy and Izy
I don’t what to say exactly, but I feel like I gotta get it out there for whatever reason. I got news this morning that my best friend, whom I’ve known since I was 3 or 4, passed away last night. Or yesterday. Kinda weird, the rainbow of feelings that go through you. In the span of a single conversation, I can be detached and speak matter of factly about it, and then my chest doesn’t work and my mouth doesn’t work, but the waterfall factory in the eyes does. Strange. I’ve never felt quite like this before.

That’s it.

    Diana’s and my thoughts are with you brother. As someone who lost his mother unexpectedly not too long ago, I think I know what you mean when you say, “I’ve never felt quite like this before.” If you need someone to talk to give me a buzz anytime. You know I’m here.

    peace

    Thank you guys, and to all of my friends, for your thoughts and comments. It’s been really strange because I never considered me and Eric to be that far apart even though we’d hung out together twice or three times in ten years. We’d get together and it would feel like no time had passed at all. So the moral of this story is: Love your friends like there’s no tomorrow, cuz maybe there is no tomorrow… I’ll soon round up all my pictures and make an Eric page here on my site.

    We can not thank you enough for the comfort we experienced listening to your remembrance of this man we all loved so much. We love you too, we’ll stay in touch. From the heart….. JT & DT
