I met both of them in Kung Fu and our relationship really deepened when we went on a trip to Greensboro Alabama. They both helped become more social, and really look into what I really value in a friendship. Kindness, loyalty, fun, accepting ,and the biggest hearts I have ever seen. They were the first friends I had who had the same passion for Kung Fu as I have. They were the first friends that were closer to my age. I was the best man at their wedding. They let me live with them when I needed a cheaper place to live. We are motorcycle buddies. They helped me when I was in the lowest of lows.
I would say I was very sad knowing I won't see them for a very long time. Until I take a vacation to visit them someday. I am truly happy for them as well. They are both living out their dreams and making it become a reality through hard work and determination, and a little luck.
I always joked with them that they have the super power of showing how small the world really is. It seemed to almost a regular occurrence for them.
I really will miss you both Dan and Mel. You guys truly made my life a happy one. I look forward to seeing you again. Knowing their super powers it could be sooner then I think. Be happy Be safe. I truly will miss them. Its hard to write this blog, but this blog is what I needed.
