It's that little bit of time...

Dan,

It's the little bit of time that we are the same age for less than two weeks, before I feel old again. A lot has changed since last year and things keep changing more and more every day. I'll be 29 in a week and all I can think about is turning 30. I wish you were here for my 30th and I could see you turn 30 as well. I often think about you every now and then, remembering funny stories and sharing them with whoever is with me. Just today, I was out fishing with Rich and began to tell a story about you. He swears to this day, that you were the only friend of mine that was ever nice to him.

This week is a big week for me, I just took and passed my state written exam for barbering last Saturday and will be taking my practical exam in 2 days. I will be done with barber school on Saturday and 5 steps closer to making my dream a reality. I will be taking time off in June to spend some time with my mom, who is not doing real well. I hope to have a fraction of the relationship that you had with your mom. I know her time is coming very soon and I know you guys will cross paths in heaven. I miss you much and think about you often. I will think of some way to incorporate you into my Shop, that's a promise.

You are in my heart, my thoughts and will never be deleted from my phone.

I love you.....-Gino-
