Great Friends

Don't really know where to begin this blog. There is so much back story and history that I could write for days and probably not be able to do the story justice.

I know that I need to write about how I am feeling right now.

6 years ago a friend walked into my life. If there such a thing as soul mates in friends he is my soul mate.

He is my confidant.

He has seen my ugly and still loves me unconditionally.

He happened to be in a band when I met him.

We all became fast friends.

I guess it helped that I worked in radio and when you are in a band you want all the friends in radio you can find.

He gave me a cd that day and I was hooked instantly.

It was one of those cds that you can listen to all the way thru and love the whole thing.

Not a shitty song in the bunch. Amazing song writing.

There is one song in particular that reached out and grabbed my soul and has never let go.

Not sure what it was about the song that touched me but to this day it remains one of my all time favorite songs.

Over the last 6 years there have been lots of new songs added to their set lists and my favorite song no longer makes the set list cut.

This friend and this band have become a very big part of my life and will always be an important part of my history.

In March of this year the band decided to part ways.

I was excited to see that 2 of their final 3 shows were in a spot I am very familiar with.

The Minnesota State Fair. (my college hometown as well as home to my extended family)

I knew I had to attend these shows.

I needed a chance to say my own good-bye.

My friend who is also the lead singer in this band did something above and beyond amazing.

During the 2nd show my last show he played my all time favorite song for me.

Just him playing keys singing my song.

I was blown away and I cried like a baby.

Good bye tears for the band I have loved and fought hard for over the last 6 years.

Tears of pure joy that someone would do something so thoughtful just for me.

This is why he is my confidant and soul mate friend.

It is also why he will always one of my most favorite people in the entire world.

I love all 5 guys like they are my brothers and I know that I always will!!

I hope y'all have friends as great as I do!!
