About an hour ago I found out that a longtime friend passed away over then weekend. I learned this, matter of factly while scrolling through my Facebook page. Since we didnt share many friends in common,and I hadnt seen the story on the news, I had no idea. Its late, Im up, my eyes are swollen and my head hurts. This is the second close friend Ive lost in 3 months. I dont consider many to be good friends, so you can only imagine how this feels. We met like 16 years ago and briefly dated, but that didnt work. So we were awesome friends after that.I have so many of the illest memories of this guy , its tearing me up to think he's gone. My son loved him , and just said screw it to calling him by his name and just called him "Dude!". I was just talking about him and how he loved his boys like no one would believe. How we would take rides up Lake Shore Drive and just talk about nothing. Absolutely nothing, yet have the best time. How he had the best backyard birthday parties.How we would automatically crack up when a particular Tracy Lee record would come on(long story). The intensely private things he would share with me, and just how good a friend he was to me. Just hit me Im speaking in past tense about my homie off 83rd. Hope I can get some sleep tonight. Wish I could talk to my buddy one last time. My Lord this hurts,but I know sometimes the good die young. Time was short, but well served. Made a large impact on a lot of people.He was the youngest and extra spoiled, but there was nothing he wouldnt do for anyone. His willingness to help coincided with his untimely demise. Nevertheless , I know he's still watching over us. I will always love you Will, and may your soul rest in peace...
