a.moment.of.silence.

If it’s not too much to ask, I’d like to request a moment of silence in memorial of a dear friend of mine.

You see today a legend suddenly passed away. It happened early this morning, and I suppose I should have seen it coming, but it was still a shock to see her go.  She was really pretty old and had lived a full life. I can’t begin to tell you how much time we’d spent together since we met in 1999.  For 9 long years, it’s as if everywhere I went, she was right there with me.

She was the most reliable friend I’ve ever had, and was always there for me. She was a great listener, and she loved my singing. I remember once I lost her in Philly, and she never even got mad at me. She let my cats crawl all over her and never said a word.  She helped me move at least a dozen times and lugged my bike around for an entire summer a few years back. We’ve laughed together, and we’ve certainly cried together.

I know that as time passes, this will get easier. I’ll move on, but I promise, I’ll never forget what we had.

I’ll miss you, 1994 Toyota Tercel. You were a legend, and you will remain in my heart forever. It’s been a good 9 years…you’ll be hard to replace.

Rest in peace.
