With Faith, With Strength, Without Compromise

It’s hard to think of anyone else that I’ve known that has reached out to as many people as you, brother.

It’s hard for me to think of anyone else who could make his group of friends feel invincible.
You made us realized the world was ours for the taking.
You were behind us all the way.
Armed to the teeth and ready to fuck up anything that stood in our way, you were the brother we could put our faith into and draw strength from.

All your talks taught me so much.
Every day I was around you I learned something.
How to stand up for myself.
How to think for myself.
How to disregard what others thought, and to have the ability to know what was right for me.

It’s hard for me to write this, wishing you were still here.
Wishing I could shoot you a text or an instant message and have you pull me out of some dark pit, or to kick me in the ass and get me motivated enough to change what didn’t make me happy.

On this earth you brought us together, and now that you’re gone the only option we have is to grow stronger and smarter and to continually better ourselves.

Thank you, brother.

I’ll see you on the other side.
