Here's To Friendship

I have never noticed, or maybe it's just that I was so wrapped up in my problems that I was oblivious to this fact, how many true friends I have. In these past few days, I have been bombarded with "I'm sorry things are this way for you," and "If you need me, I'm here" that it has been a bit overwhelming. But I welcome the friendship and support that has been offered and given.

I have known so many of you for such a long time. Some of you I know from High School, some of you from College, and some of you I have met more recently. Some of you, I have only known on this online world, and some of you, I have the pleasure of calling you "Brother," both literally and figuratively. Some of you have known me all my life, in one fasion or another. One or two of you, whether you know it or not, I have had the utmost pleasure in falling in love with you, and after all this time, I can still call you friend.

But whoever you are, however we have met, no matter what our relationship was in the past, I appreciate everything that you have been to me. Whether you are family, friends, fraternity brothers, past lovers, or someone I used to play in a band with, and you know who you are, you will always mean something to me, and you will always have a place my heart. Thank you for your support in these hard times, and I will always be here for you, too.
