Goodbye my friend...

My family received the most horrible call last night. A call nobody wants to receive or should ever have to receive. I lost a dear friend; the world lost an amazing person. I have been friends with him for as long as I can remember and have so many fond memories of time spent with him and his family, who are like family to me. Knowing how I'm feeling about his loss, I can't even begin to comprehend what his parents, siblings and entire family are going through. Brandon Mitchell, I love you. And I, among so many others, am so saddened that you are no longer here. You seriously were one of a kind and will forever be missed! Until we meet again my sweet friend. Mike, Deanne, Miranda (Miles), and Madelynn...I really hope your family is able to find peace and comfort during this extremely difficult time!

This is a great reminder to us all to cherish every moment spent with your loved ones and to never take any moments for granted because you never know if those moments will be your last!

A few pictures I was able to find of Brandon and I - way back in the first grade!
