Well it's been a year. I can honestly say I think about you daily, I really miss talking to you, even though the last couple of years I wish I could forget. Growing up we were two peas in pod. We had a great time learning together. Some of the shit we did, people don't believe it. I still tell the stories to keep us together. I look forward to seeing you soon. Talk to you later.
