In Memorium

My friend Jimmy died tonight.

He was one of the only examples of 100% good people I know. He’d been fighting cancer since late 2010.

Jimmy was always positive. He always encouraged me, without hesitation, even when he was in a worse position than me. He was one of the most intelligent people I know. He inspired me every time I spoke with him, to keep writing, keep fighting for what I felt was right, even when that just meant standing up for myself.

He was one of the most spiritual people I knew. Very funny. He didn’t give up even after the tumors paralyzed him.

It’s just…not fair.

The world lost a shining star tonight. We are all less without him here.
