For Simon.

You can never say "I love you" too much to the people you care about. Simon. I freaking miss you. You aggressively and admirably lived life and you made sure the people you loved knew it. I'm so thankful that I have a million small ways to remember how you touched my life.

Sometimes life doesn't seem fair. Sometimes you have a lot of questions. Sometimes you feel really lost. I've always loved the above quote by Rainer Maria Rilke. If you've never read any of his poetry I highly recommend that you do a search for his quotes. He's brilliant and viewed life in a unique and supremely beautiful way.

Love you Simon.

I totally agree. This post reminds me of two dear friends I lost a little over a year ago. They gave me so many ways to remember them by, and I believe - are still giving me reasons ♥
