This week has been a pretty rough one.
A friend of mine from college committed suicide last week.
I can’t say where he was mentally (or physically for that matter) as our friendship, like many, waned after I graduated. However he was certainly a part of my life for three years at college. He had this giant grin which I can’t get out of my head.

He was a giant goofball – always knowing what to do to make you laugh. Even when photo-bombing group pictures.

I’m (mostly) sure that in the not so distant future I’ll write about the emotional effect Brian’s death has had on me. But for now, this is about him. I hope that wherever his spirit may be hanging out that he realizes; though we may never have been “good” “close” friends, he was a consistent bright spot in my life when I was in college.
I hope he’s found relief.
Brian, you are loved.
