I have to do a blog about my dear friend Tony. Jen and I
were honored to do all we could do to help Brian and Kim bury their child. No
parent should ever have to face the pain and heartache that these wonderful
people are braving. I love you more than you could possibly know and I respect
and admire your grace and love during this nightmare. You both amaze me.
I did not get to say a few things about Tony but I would
like to now. What an amazing human. We only had him for a very short 16 years
but I cannot believe the impression this young man made on my life. What a true
inspiration. Very few people make me belly laugh every few sentences, but my
God that child did. I loved being around him. Honestly, just being in his
presence was blissful. He did not need to talk – we would make eye contact and
both roll our eyes. He was so brutally honest, which I loved almost as most as his humor. He was my go-to guy many times just because I knew he would appreciate my twisted sense of humor, and I his. I just loved him like my own.
I promise to you that we will all remember you with laughter
and love. I can’t imagine it now, but we will get there. It’s funny – whenever I
think of you or remember times we all spent together, I think there was a glow
around you. You were a gift that was given for 16 years. What a fucking amazing
gift. Love you Tony.
