So,..my friend Rod has had ALS for awhile now and we all knew it was only a matter of time. I went last week to see him (after getting a phone call saying he probably don't have much time)...it was pretty hard to see him sitting there in his chair skinny and unable to talk. I needed to tell him how much his friendship has meant to me...how he was like a father, a brother and a great friend.
I chicken'd out...it hurt too bad...well, somwone told me that I'd regret it if I didn't tell him. So, after a few quick drinks I went back looked him in the eyes and told him. I told him the history of my belief and Thor's Hammer...I took mine off and gave it to him...he told me I was a solid bro' and that he would take it with him. He said that he'll give it back to me when we meet again...I cryed my eyes out...it totally fucked me up.
I got a call this morning telling me that he had passed away in his sleep in the early hours of the morning...................................I feel a heavy weight on my heart.
You know,..I love that man and am so glad that I've got to share time with him...I have alot of great memories (him doing donuts in the street in his wheel chair, drinking moon shine).
Rod,....you will NEVER be forgotten with me....I love you bro'.
Till we meet in the great hall...CHEERS!!!
-B-
Ps.: I wonder if anyone cares...I've lost so many good people (when I shoud've gone before them) ...does anyone know what it's like too hurt so bad that you want to hurt someone?...I just don't know...I'm crying again and it hurts all over.
I miss you Rod........there are no words that can describe it.
Fuck you all!
