One of my best friends died last night. I cannot believe it. I have spent a good portion of the day in disbelief, crying, listening to the Cure, emailing people, calling people, and wondering what I need to do to get through this week. It's weird how time sometimes tries to steal communication between people. I was not big on calling, and neither was he. But, that didn't mean shit. I could call him once a year and it would be like we had talked to each other yesterday. I miss him alot. I wish I had a chance to say goodbye one more time, and tell him that I love him. He was my brother, my friend, and my hero (at times). I have been around so many grieving families and been a part of more funerals than I ever bargained for, and I tell you, death can be difficult to comprehend. It sucks! I don't want to feel this hollow. I guess I am tired and empty of emotion right now. God...surround my friends....surround Bram's family...surround me.

there's never been anyone in this world like bram, and i doubt there ever will be again.
i wish i had one more chance to talk to him, too.
My prayers are with you, brother J. Know that I'm here (yeah, 1500 miles away, but what's 1500 miles when the phone is by your ear) if you want to unload anything ... I'll even sip the Macallan over the distance if it will help, yes, that's the kind of friend I am!
