It's Not Goodbye. It's See Ya Later...

This week, we lost someone who touched many of our lives. I got news on Sunday that my friend Andy passed away, and to be honest, since that day, I've still had a hard time processing through it. I have been thinking a lot about life and how quickly it can change, and it's been a painful pill to swallow. Andy was only 22 years old, taken far too soon. While I didn't get to see him nearly as often as I'd like, he brightened my day every time we were together. A true zest for life, and to say he will never be forgotten is a huge understatement. I am going to miss him more than words can say, and since I can't quite bring myself to say goodbye, Andy, if you see this, "It's not goodbye. It's see ya later." Love you, buddy. You will always be in my heart.
