Remembering a good friend

       One year ago today, a really great friend of mine passed away due to the ravenous effects of cancer. He put up a good fight and at times it seemed like he could beat it, but unfortunately for him and everyone that knew him, he couldn't. Ed was a great guy! We went to school and graduated together. In our early twenties, we shared an apartment together. My late teens and early twenties were some of the best times of my life. Ed and I had alot of crazy, fun times together. So many stories, alot of which, I can't discuss here. Lol. Unfortunately, we drifted apart and didn't have any contact with each other for many years. We grew up and settled down. I did the marriage thing for awhile and Ed did the father thing. Ed did a great job raising his daughter, he was a really good father. Ed and I reconnected about four years ago. He was now living in Florida. We spoke to each other at least once a week and got together whenever he came to Connecticut for a visit. I really miss those weekly conversations. In February 2011, Shelly and I had to make a last minute trip to The Keys for her daughter's memorial service. We were going to drive home right afterwards. Ed didn't think that was a good idea and had us stay the night at his place. We stayed there most of the next day also. I'm so glad we did, it was the last time I saw him. It was a great visit, even though the circumstances all around the visit were bad. I think about Ed alot. I have so many good memories, we had alot of good times together. I have a pendant with some of his ashes in it and anytime I go out and have a good time, part of Ed is with me. I miss you my friend, Kevin

Happier times!

The most dressed up Ed and I would do back in the day! lol



Our last visit together, just like the old days
