It’s been on my mind a lot, lately.

Goodbye. Thanks. I love you. All of see things that we don’t say as often as we should.

Last night, I awoke to find I was thinking about a friend of mine who passed away two years ago. Reverend Charley was a good friend. Late last year, two other friends of mine died. I’m too young to be saying goodbye to friends. We close each separation is with the sentiment “see you soon…” never stopping to think that soon may never come. Sometimes we have that chance to say goodbye. Most often, the Spectre comes as we were looking the other way.

I thought about two of my favorite beers that are being discontinued. Maybe I should direct this towards their passing:

“Dear Stone Ruination and Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale…” It’s kinda not the same, “Thanks. Thanks for the time we’ve spent, the roads we’ve traveled. The laughs, the tears, the joy, the sorrow.” See, none of that works.

Maybe I just announce a generic goodbye? “If you’re on Facebook with me, or if you’re somebody that makes me smile when I see you, know that I give a shit about you. I’ll miss you when you’re gone. I probably love you, know that. And, I’m sorry for not talking to you lately. Life gets in the way, huh?”

I can’t write a letter, the one person that I forget, or that doesn’t open their letter is going to be the next person in my Dead Pool to go.

Maybe just “Goodbye” will have to suffice, this time.
