Saying goodye is something I have never been good at
My friends at Skatz,
My world has been rocked with loss and sadness at the news I have to let a good friend-no, my ONLY friend- go and I just can't bear it. It is said "parting is such great sorrow", and with a heavy heart I am attempting to do just that…Where the stregnth to move on will come from, I still don't know….I haven't said one single goodbye so much as ending a phone call since I was 26 or so...
Robert, you were more than a friend to me, more perhaps than a brother even. You were, in fact, who I thought I always wanted to be growing up a kid with no brothers or sisters, and a small handful of friends. The truth no one knows about us is that I never loved life until you showed me how to properly live it….So how am I going to live now that you're gone? Will it even really be "living" at all?...
The time has come to part ways though, whether I like it or not. Rest in Peace bro, and as I make the rest of lifes journey alone, may your spirit shine on in my heart always, and may your memory light my way along this dark and lonely path called life until I finally reach roads end...Goodbye old friend.
