I'll Miss You, My Friend

Brandz

Well CSI:NY was great, fabulous but today just plain sucked. It Really, Really sucked. I was faced with the mortality of a human life today. Being a young mid 20 something, A part me feels invincible and immortal. In retrospect, thats pretty stupid but I think thats just part of the human condition. Today I lost a good friend, someone I've known just over a year but damn it felt like a life time.  A few hours ago, I didn't have words but now they won't stop. It's like a damn has broken.

Brandon and I have a simple complex relationship not to many people could possibly ever understand. I never physically met him, ever. Yet some how he wormed his way into the circle of my nearest and dearest friends. He challenged me, made me think of things, consider things, I'd never  have considered. He inspired me to write my own blog, share my own issues, burdens, passions, My stories and fight for causes I believed in. He empowered me, made me laugh and sometimes made me cry. There were times I didn't know whether to kiss or throttle him, because he could be such a pain in the ass. He accepted me and all my oddities and not to many people ever had.

Brandon was a lot like that toy you bought only to find out it was a deal package that came with it's own collection of dysfunction, insane misfit toys. That's a lot like what happened Brandon came with his friends, even though I didn't play with his friends as much. I'm glad he came with them, they made playtime that much more fun.

Brandon left his footprints over so many people, he'll be walking forever before your done following all those footprints.

You can check out his blog and buy his book  and you'll get a glimpse of the man I call friend.
