Gone, but never forgotten

Today, I write this blog post with mixed emotions.

I write this about a friend that was extra special.

A friend that I had not known long, but felt like I had known my whole life.

A friend that could light up the room just by entering it.

A friend who had almost the same crazy and devious personality as my own.

A friend that lived the saying 'live each day as if it is your last.'

A friend that was tragically taken too soon at the tender age of 24.

Today is the 3 year anniversary of the death of my beautiful friend Lee.

I can't believe that it has been 3 years already, so much has happened since then, yet it feels as though it was just yesterday. I actually originally started this blog only 2 months before his death in 2008 and my entry about it ended up being the last entry on this blog for a very long time.

Today, all I have to say is this:

Lee, I still miss you, especially today, but I look back of the few memories I have of you and I smile. You were a beautiful soul who touched the life of everyone you met. Through losing you, I have gained one of the closest most wonderful & amazing friendships in my life. Just the thought of you brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. Today is and always be all about you. 

You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten.
