Some no longer here, either gone altogether or no longer active. I miss Ruslan’s challenge to think and do… Scotty’s sweet smile and wave. I still go to his wall just to see his face and catch the wave…he makes me smile. Andy has become a less frequent visitor. But always standing true to God and country. Many won’t remember Jed or Tommy. But they were fun and pushed the edges with their humor and sarcasm. The sweet but strong country boy, AJ. Still moving his life forward. No longer here, but still in my life. RusT still around sometimes, but miss our chats. Shy and quiet Lawrence, trying to find his way through all things to be true to himself. Liam of few words, but when he spoke said so much. Toni of the masterful uploads and frequent travels…miss your travelogues…so much changed in your life these last years….Stees and Misha…now married and working and continuing their studies…but miss the interaction…knowing when Stees was dancing in his underwear at the clubs…Michael…lost from GBT during the upgrade whilst he and the husband were sailing…Cooper with his multiple ins and outs…but still know where to find him…and hear about his good times….Alan Williams..you captured my heart…it was a good time..but alas you were not real…just a game with Dr. Peter…
Then there are those in ways small and large have made GBT seem a family of sorts. Jase and his exploits with Logan…his constant desire to have a conversation and to share….Ads…keeper of the rhythm..making the dance floor alive with his music and charm….Lil-B and his charm and wit…and sense of purpose in the world..challenging others to listen and take action. Vlad when he engaged us all in literature…Davey’s inimical style on blogs and walls…always a bright note…Thom who managed to make me look like I had some technical ability by providing updates to my AVI and wall…always around behind the scene…Ross with his enthusiasm for life…for travel…for fun…all admire your Abs..but for me it will always be your eyes…Creamy with your love to write and share of yourself…adding depth to what is here… that hot Chilean Rickee…who constantly amazes me with his words and ideas….
Those that have shared of themselves and their stories and journeys…letting others learn from their lives…Scott in Kansas…fighting the good fight to be who he is..and to be free…Toby always giving of himself to others…to help the path stay clear and easy…miss you my friend…but know that you are where you need to be….be safe…be happy….Sweet Joey…coming back from his horrible accident…centered now..ready to move his life forward..head up…and proud..so proud of him and where he has gotten to….Billy…the man to fight for the forgotten…so strong in ways…so innocent in others…been held close in his new family…and with the love of Cody to hold him tall…a voice that will be heard for many years to come….sweet kind Jerrod…a rough couple of years…change is hard…loss is hard…but with the love of Charlie..the love of family…and the caring of your family here…life moves forward..not always a straight line..but forward it goes…you, like Billy give me hope for the generations that follow mine…Sweet Handsome and Well Behaved Johnny…of the parable and message of right and wrong…you touch me each time you make yourself apparent…Mr. Awesome…I miss our chats…but am happy that your life has come together the way it has…was a long time looking for the job…but still always positive and willing to give a listen to anyone that needed to be heard…Jake…with the most beautiful ass to be seen…not often on display..but worthy of such much respect and care…and a sweet and kind man as well…Bri…was a tough few years for you and yours…but you reached the other side..stronger and focused…Scott…a tough year for you as well…but you managed to keep your head up and move forward…loss is hard…life can be as well….but you share your love and support with all that come into your life…Scotland is lucky to have you….
Funny Jerico…master of the amateur video capture and upload…an important part of what this world seems to love…A&E..so sweet and kind…and with a remarkable collection of hot stuff on your wall…and kind words that you share…
That band of my contemporaries…Ron…RD…Andre…Dennis…Mike and Rob…we share a past…or at least some moments of common history…makes me feel good to know you each…in your individual ways a part of my family here…
Sweet Mark…for whom evil struck…but managed to work through it all with the love support and kindness of his friends Kev and Paul…now a happy group that parties together and supports each other…and has let me be a part of their lives for which I am deeply grateful….the other Mark…long on his journey to find where and what was right…to have found a place for himself and to have allowed me to follow that journey..to see someone find the light of an angel warms me deeply…Kind and sweet Josh…came into our lives through tragedy…but is strong…and a good man…and am proud to call him a friend…
And finally, Alan…my kind hard working and caring friend. Nearly 600 days for you…and I am so happy that you found your love…Jon…and he you…you are a special person and deserve all the wonderful things that have come to you…and I feel blessed that you and Jon allow me to be a part of your lives…thank you for being you…and being a friend.
Then there is Alexis Samuel…a man filled with love…who can only see the good in others…so much has happened in your life’s journey…that others would be dragged down and perhaps lost…but not you my friend…for you find the good in all that happens…you turn the pain to love…the hurt to joy…and share it with those around you….you found your love..and he you…and you took your promise to your parents to heart…and standing there with you…your brother Patrick…nearly a man…and like you strong of character…strong of heart…strong of caring….you taught him those things…and should be proud of what you accomplished…and know deep in your heart…that your parents and your grandparents look down and are proud of you…for who you are…what you stand for…and how you live your life…you honor them by being you…and what greater honor can a parent have than a son like Alexis Samuel…a beacon of what the purity of love really is….
Is there another 900 days…is there a tomorrow. I don’t think we ever can answer that question. I am just happy to have had the time with all of you…and hope that in some small way my being here has been of value to some of you….Thanks to all of you for enriching my days….
