This kills me to read this Dougie. Dena is right though about the shrine. Went by Iroquois last night at about 830 and there still must have been 50 people just sitting, hacking butts around the tree where the memorial to you has been set up. I don't know how this could have happened but our memories together since we were 5 will always stay with me. I hope that place in the sky has enough room to handle you. I am going to miss you bud. <3 Halo isn't going to be the same without you.
