To Andrew

Andrew, i know we never really hung out or spent much time together, but trust me dude, i regret that a lot.

i really was looking forward to getting to know you more. The little i saw of you personally was all good. You struck me as a really solid, caring, guy. The way you interacted with Nilaya was inspiring at times, and your paintings really showed a sensitivity that was not as readily visible. It was really good to hear that you had decided to follow Christ, and it was great to have you over at Little Flowers. i'm sorry i missed your wrestling match, i really did want to go to it, honestly. Only as i write this is it starting to sink in that i won't see you again in this life. That realization leaves me feeling a hollow pain in my chest. i am at a loss for words, the feelings i have are overwhelming.

i don't know what to say. This can hardly be called a tribute, as much as i wish i had the words to make it one.

You were and are loved, and are sorely missed.
