My friend i know that you may not read this but it needs to be said. You have always been there for me, through thick and thin, through everything in my life you were always there when i needed you. you are the one constant i know will never change in my life. In 6 months time i lose you. i lose my partner. the man who is always right beside me in the thick of everything. There is an old saying that a friend will be there to bail you out if you get into trouble while a best friend is sitting right there next to you saying wow that was fun. By that definition you are my best friend. But in my heart i can not call you that. you are my brother. there are people out there whom i call brother because of the oaths i ahve taken, but you, you i call brother because my heart tells me to. you i call my brother because that is the only word that i know to call such a man. We have been through a lot together you and i. Hell and Back to get to where we are today. yet after all the fighting to get to where we are it is almost time to lose you. That first day of 6th grade i never thought i would be sitting here writing something like this. That first day i saw you and jimmy sitting there in the gym. and things just clicked. We have fought for eachother. I have fought battles for you, to keep you as a friend that you may never know. yet here i am about to lose you. Its funny when you think about all of this. How two guys like you and me could possibly be friends. So different yet so much alike. As if we are two halfs to a whole. I sit here and think of the times that we have had. some have been a little crazy. some have been well really crazy. how about that smoke bomb or the mikes story medly. weve done good things too. Things for people that they will enjoy. Things like our eagle projects and lord knows we cant forget about the DeMolay chapter. those things will be around for years to come. for many people besides us to enjoy. in 10 years they may not remember us but we will have touched those peoples lives. Just as we have touched eachothers. for the past 7 years of my life i have had a friend whom i hold dear. that has touched me deeper than anything else could possibly know. I am lucky for i have had you in my life. I have known you better than most people will ever know a human. sometimes i know you better than i know myself and you do the same to me. I could go on for a million years about how you have impacted my life. but what it all boils down to is things just wont be the same without you. I know others will be hurt they love you too. but i... i will be losing half of me. my partner. my comrade. my friend. my brother. you have shown me the true meaning of wimachtendink.
