Today, is a day I will never forget.
Today is the day I lost someone who I never got to tell, how much I truely loved them, and how much they truely meant to me.
He was the strongest person I had ever met. First meeting him, so long ago, that I cant even remember. WE'd known eachother since childhood, spending only one week a year with eachother, we grew closer and closer at such a slow pace. He had two, not one, but two heart transplants in his lifetime. And he made it through. His third, and newest heart, he had for over a year.
He was found passed out. Taken to the hospital and recessitated, however, his new heart, just could not take it. His body was rejecting it. And he did not make it.
I will always remember the times we had together. You had so much life. You lived it more than anyone else I will ever meet, because you knew, every day could be your last. You went for everything you wanted, everything. And if you did not get it, just that you tried, was enough for you. You made me proud everyday, because you were one of the most amazing people I will have ever met.
I convinced everyone that you were my brother for a reason. Because i love you. And to me, you will always be my brother. No I was not able to see you more than one week a year, but that one week, is the most amazing week each year that I look forward to. Without it, I could not deal with everything else. Because of you, I would go each year, becuase it meant, you and I could have another week to run around and cause havock. We were LITs together. Thats a bond no one can break. We got our gold rags together. We were counselors together. The year I was told I was going to be a counselor, I was excited, becuase you would be there with me. But you couldn't. And to be honest, I almost did not go, just because you would not be there with me. However, the next year, you were going. I was so excited, because thats what I wanted, was to be a counselor with you.
This past summer at camp, you made me smile over and over again. You cherished everything and anything, and I have never, and will never meet anyone like you again.
You are, and ALWAYS will be my brother.
In my heart, there will be a place for you, forever.
And I hope one day, you and I will be able to be together again.
I love you, Zach Ferre.
