I'm sorry to bring up this old thread but I want to wish Greg a merry christmas.
This is not the way I intended to do this but I didn't have the opportunity to light a candle for You at the graveyard this year as a result of a very busy time in my life. Usually I light a candle for each person I consider important in my life that have passed away. So, instead a lit candle and some unspoken words I write a few.
Greg, my brother, I miss U dearly.
U're in my thoughts on a daily basis. They are happy thoughts, I remember all the good times we had together. We only played a game together, but we played a lot! Part of me wishes I could have those days back but I can't. We just can't rewind life to it's better parts and we just have to live with that fact.
That's why we have to live our lives to the fullest like You did and ENJOY the ride!
You see, I've learned a thing or two from You!

Anyway I wish that You are in a happy place now and I wish I can join You there when it's my time. I wish Your family will manage life without You. I know they miss You a lot but life has it's funny ways. I just wish it wasn't so painful.
Merry Christmas, my friend. Sorry I'm late this year.
