View all 320 ReflectionsLife is not fair, brother. Bad things happen to good people.
I was working out today and my music app played a Rammstein song I remember you used to blare while we were doing uniform maintenance in Cottonwood in the evening.
I am starting to grasp the fact I have no right to ask "why." I am still working on the right question to ask.
I love you, man.
