Last Summer.
Wrote this last summer. Thought I’d post it up as a reminder to myself.
A friend of mine passed away over the summer: a victim to cancer. He was—no, IS— one of the strongest people I have ever had the privilege of encountering. He faced his diagnosis with a smile; he dismissed any pity with a snort, suggesting that everyone stop with their “I’m so sorry”s and listen to a funny anecdote he wanted to share.
He only had kindness til the end.
Only kindness. Only love.
Only smiles.
Here’s to honoring someone who assisted those who didn’t know they needed assisting. One day, I hope to attain half the strength he had. One day, I hope I can be as accepting and kind as he had been.
As he is.
Love you. Miss you.
