I found out a couple of days ago that a dear online and also RL friend passed away in October 2022.
I had tried to contact him in on many occasions for the past 6 months and now I know why.
Cody and I first met up over on ATS a few years ago and after bantering around with each other on many threads along with a couple of other members who can now be found here, we became very close...
Throughout your life your brought many a smile (thousands even) to many a persons face...
You were a good person...
You never judged...
I never saw you angry...
You went through some hard shit but still kept that smile on your face...
You and I went through some seriously shitty stuff in our past and we shared this together throughout our tears and laughter...
You know I am pretty crap at writing down how I feel and that it is easier to talk face to face (And one day that will happen again when we find each other at the top of the mountain of reunion and share a good bottle of whatever together.. whilst you wear your Cowboy hat and me my gasmask.)
"I am better for knowing you, better for loving you, better for having met you. May you be as blessed in the next life, my friend, as I was in this one by knowing you." (Author unknown but this is how I feel).
