GOODBYE ANDY

Last time we all got together was a couple of years ago, we went downtown to see Kill Bill 2 and ate mexican food. You were at our wedding six years ago. We didn't see alot of each other, but you made a lasting impression on me as a funny, wry, creative, sweet man. There are pictures on Daves blog from just about month ago of you holding Max, you're both making goofy faces. You were just my age and last I heard, you were planning a wedding of your own.
You died last night.
You died.
If you say it a bunch of times, it doesn't even sound like a word anymore. It makes no sense.
Truly, this makes no sense.
Though we didn't get much of a chance to talk about philosophy, if there is a next life, I wish for you to live to be a healthy 110 years old. At that point you'll decide to check out because you'd been everywhere, seen it all, and done absolutely everything you could ever want to do in this world.
Rest in peace Andy, you will be missed.
