In Memory...
Today was the saddest day I have experienced. I've lost family members before but never one I was close to, let alone grew up with. Today I didn't bury a friend...today I burried my brother. A brother from an extended family that shaped and molded my every characteristic. Characteristics spawned from the people who raised me outside of my home and away from my parents. I am the person you all know because of those very siblings, and I feel sorry for those of you who never knew, or may never know the kind of bond we shared.
Throughout my life I have made myself believe that heartbreak was the deepest wound known to man. Today, I found out how true I was. I've never felt heartbreak like this: a wound that will forever remain unhealable...a scar that will always rip back open at the sight of his picture or the drop of his name.
For those of you who didnt know Anthony Nguyen, you will never be able to understand the kind of person he was. No amount of words could sum up every memory perfectly enough to show that the world has truly lost one of it's very few "good people." You just had to be there and I thank God that I was fortunate enough to be.
May you rest in peace, Anthony.
My team-mate.
My friend.
My brother.
We love you.
