The greatest man that ever lived

I was gonna write my comeback entry, but fuck it.
I've been fine without LJ, but I just wanted to write that Gare bear's dad passed away today.
And I'm only writing this because I want to remember the day and pay tribute to him.

It's weird to think that I met him when I was in sixth grade.
I didn't really talk to him back then, but my mom did since Matthew, Gary's brother, and I were on the same basketball team.
I didn't see him for years, and then I became friends with Gary and I was over at their house a bunch! I didn't realize he was the same man until months later when my mom and I saw him driving and I was like, "Look! There's Gary's dad!!!" And she told me she remembered his son who was on my basketball team. And then it clicked... OCHOA!!!!!!
Crazy stuff.
Mr. Ochoa was too much fun and a pretty cool dad.
I pwned him at quarters once and he made me chug a beer another time.
He laughed at me cause he always remembered that time I got shit faced at his house.

I sound like a big alcoholic.
But that's just the way parties went at the Ochoa household.

I wish I had gotten to know him better because he did seem like he had a lot to offer and say, but I'm just glad I have nice, fun memories to remember him by.


You'll be missed greatly Mr. Ochoa. ♥
