Happy birthday buddy boy,

It's your third birthday in heaven. I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly. It all seems like yesterday that you and I said goodbye for the last time.

Remember how we had our own handshake when we parted company? Remember the night you and I sat in my car in front of your house and talked for hours about life? Remember when you and I moved into our apartments on the same weekend and we shared the truck rental? Remember "surfing" in the back of the rental truck while I drove it too fast and took the turns too tight? Remember how we used to cruise around in your Miata with the top down and our sunglasses on? Remember when you and I almost started a bar fight in Stingray's? (Ironic, how now your remains are laid to rest across the street from there). Remember you and I spending hours setting up your new TV and making it fit in the entertainment center? Remember riding the elevators at Pace wearing Burger King Crowns? Remember how mad your mom got at me every time I tried to take her picture? Remember how mad you would get at me every time I went to pet Peanuts?
Fourteen years of the best memories of my life dont just disappear. I carry them with me always and think about them often. I want to thank you for giving me some of the best days of my life. I wish you were still here so we could make some more. I miss you my friend, my brother. Rest in peace.

Love always,
Michael
