Its been 9 years since my best friend Bob passed away (and almost that long for his buddy Max in the pic with him) and while I miss him like you wouldn't believe, I also feel fortunate. Fortunate because I was close to someone who genuinely made the world a better place.
Its only natural to want to lionize loved ones when they die, but Bob really did make the world better in a number of ways. Not only did he have one of the most accepting and strong hearts you could hope to encounter and a razor sharp mind, but he was also one of the funniest fuckers you could hope to meet! Responsible, smart, funny, joyful and strong are just a few of the things I could say about him.
God bless you buddy I hope you're with everyone who loved you, you deserve it!
