That’s a lot of names. A lot of people that were to me at some point friends, family, hanging-out buds, or more. All were extraordinary people in their own right. And each one played a part in making me who I am today. That’s just the names off the top of my head, and if I really concentrated, I could probably add a dozen more.

Tonight, I’m thinking of these folks, relishing the memories and crying over the losses. If I had a shot of liquor, I’d make a toast to these incredible patrons and their memories. I hope that Mt. Dew Zero will suffice. Each person listed was in some way a part of my life, and each left a piece of their heart and essence in and with me. Maybe you’re not here in the physical sense anymore, but your memories and what you gave to us will never die.

I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for everything. I’ve met some amazing people during my time here on Earth, and far too many aren’t here anymore, but they will never truly die. They’ve just moved on to the next step. And I miss y’all.

Never forgotten.
