Relation-shits are not just about dates gone wrong
or funny roommate problems
or brothers that shit in front of you.
They are also about finding love
and unfortunately, experiencing loss.
Today was one of those experiencing loss days.
Someone I have known since I was 14 lost their dad.
We met thanks to marching band
and had a classic two year High School relationship
in which I had the honor of getting to know his dad.
It's true what they say,
only the good die young.
Past the humor, the practical jokes,
and the tough motorcycle riding exterior,
this man was a gentle giant
(as many referred to him)
and an amazing man my friend will no doubt become.
You never know the value of a moment
until it becomes a memory,
so cherish those moments
and never let go of those memories.
