Happy birthday, friend

[turrelle]

Today my friend Kevin would have turned 43 years old. I wonder where I would be if he hadn't passed away 7 years ago. I wonder if I would have left Vancouver to go to school. I wonder how he would have influenced my life. I wonder how I would have influenced his. I don't think I would be on the same path I'm on now. I wonder how he would feel about what my life is like now. I miss him. I still think about him every day. I'm still sad he's left us, but his light will burn forever bright inside my heart. I have a collage of picutres of him on my wall that I revere, because if I didn't have them, I'd be afraid I'd forget what he looked like, but with those few photos of him that I have, I can be reminded of his smile, of his strut, of his spark, his brightness.

Happy Birthday Kevin.
