It's been a year now since you left us, a loss that is still felt to this day.
I'll never forget the day I woke up to see a panic in the Wannabes alumni chat, with your obituary posted in it. I was in total shock, stunned completely off the face of the earth. I couldn't find the words to say goodbye at the time, all I could manage was this: https://tengaged.com/blog/TheSexiestDude990/8529885/rest-peace-amigo
As time went on, the impact of your loss was felt deeper and deeper. I took it upon myself to finish your final project, Survivor Wannabes, because I know how much you loved the game and everything about it. With every post, it sunk in more and more: "this is real. He's really gone."
There was a period of time when I blamed myself. For a while before you passed I became your confidant, someone you trusted a lot of deep, scary, personal things with which I am taking to the grave with me. I'm thankful for the time that I got to spend with you being as close as we were towards the end. I'm thankful that you put as much trust in me as you did.
One year later, your loss is still very much felt. Your absence still weighs heavily on me, but I know you're in a better place and all that negativity is gone. You were a wonderful person, beloved by pretty much everyone who really knew you. I love you, I miss you, and I look forward to the day when we meet again.
"It's been a long day without you, my friend. And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again..."
He will be missed dearly, I hope you’re doing well too
