Oh My Friend, there isn't a day that seems to go by when I don't think about you still. It's the little things that bring your memory up, usually with a laugh and then tears. I didn't think I was going to like you when I was your FTO. Boy, was I wrong. I still see your face from the last time I saw you, leaning over the porch with your red hair blowing in the wind. I miss you still.
