  19. Losing a comrade is like losing a limb; therapy may cure the sorrow of the wounds, but the damage cannot be healed.

    I wish that these words was enough to accurately describe how I feel, but it doesn’t, not even close. I feel so much more than a mere longing. I could create a galaxy full of life with what I feel for you. I feel; how crazy is that? I feel everything. My heart hurts so much, but it also is filled with so much love, especially for you Alan.

    I will miss your laugh, your lame jokes, your hugs, your shit singing and, I miss your top of the day little man text every Monday morning. I will miss you.I can’t say it enough.I miss our shenanigans and chugging Guinness at our pub (Murphys). You left us quicker than we thought Al & I didn’t get to say & do everything we talked about together.
    You taught me that you never know when the last moment you will see someone will be and to not hold grudges, not to hold back because there isn’t time for that.All I do know is that my love for you is the only thing I am sure of. I can hear your laugh; see your big bright googlys eyes with heaven in them, your kindness and goodness I can feel. You were everything I wasn’t; maybe that’s why we made such a great duo.

    I will always miss you & but you will live on inside of until we meet again chugging pints of Guinness & taking the piss out of each other & everyone around us. Your pain free now mate. Rest easy my dear brother. 💔
