Goodbye my friend...my birthday buddy

[jenistar1337]

I had the privilege of knowing someone in this world who had the ability to make anyone and every one laugh. Someone who wasn't afraid to be himself, who wasn't afraid to be just outright silly and weird. He was my bird of a feather and I knew that the moment I met him. One of my fondest memories of him was one of the first nights we actually hung out, we laid down on our friends trampoline at night and stared at the stars and just laughed and laughed with each other. I can still hear his laugh and see his smile. And I remember telling him my birthday was New Year's Eve, and when he told me "that's my birthday too", I thought he was joking, lol. Ryan was just the epitome of FUN. Even though we drifted apart as our lives headed in different directions and we haven't spoken in years, I still valued the friendship we once shared and was forever thankful for the fun we had together. I found out that he left earth today and I don't know how or why...I just know that I already missed him before he was even gone. And now that reality that I will have to miss him forever is setting in and that hurts so bad.

Goodbye Ryan, my birthday buddy...thanks for the memories. See you on the other side <3

This is a hard lesson friends....when you think of someone from your past, and you miss them. TELL THEM.
