Words fail me. I miss you more than my aching heart can express. I should be planning your 40th birthday party and watching you laugh and roll your eyes as I stress myself out to make it just perfect. My kids should know the sound of your voice. My life shouldn’t have this great big empty hole where you used to exist.
Happy birthday to the best man I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Today, instead of drinking and crying I plan to celebrate you. I want to celebrate the person you were, want to exchange memories with the guys, want to think of you fondly. Thank you for being the best friend a guy could ever ask for. I adore you.
