I miss you so, so, much. I remember when we were planning on seeing eachother, and when you gave me books, and when you had meningitis and Donna sent me japanese treats for you to let me know you still remembered me... You were truly an amazing friend. I look at the memorial I made for you every single day before I go, and I still wish this was just a dream. But it isn't. And life goes on. People say that you'll eventually get over the loss of a loved one, but I don't think this is the case. To me, it still feels like you died yesterday and it's so unreal. But nonetheless, today (tomorrow in 1 hour 15 minutes technically) is your birthday, and I hope you're having the most amazing time of your life with no sickness or pain or suffering. You don't. even look 34. You crazy Japanese folk don't age a damn bit. Love you! Miss you!
