Eight Years Ago Today
My best friend "Bug" was murdered by a drunk driver. One year ago today I spent some time at Bug's resting place.
Below is a picture of us from our HS Graduation day and an excerpt from his mothers memorial website.
Jess also shared a couple special memories with me recently.
One was about a couple special mugs that he Ryan and Willie got one day. Ryan called Jess one day and told him that they had to meet at this car lot across town because their favorite DJs were there doing a promotion there and were offering free "Butt Muggs". Which meant the mugs had a picture of each DJ's jeans-ed butt. Well, the promotion was going to end at a certain time and at that time there would be no more mugs given out. Ryan told Jess to not be late. I think you can guess what happened. Jess was on time and Ryan and Willie were way late. They did end up getting their mugs though after the DJs gave them a hard time(the DJs gave the hard time to Ryan because Jess told them to). I gave Ryan's mug to Jess for a memory of a good time he and Ryan had together.
He also told me that on graduation night from high school they all (the friends)each of them took their own tassel (the ones on the cap)and colored one of the white strands their favorite color( In Ryan's case blue) so that when each of them looked at their tassel they would remember what they had done and the memories of school.
Thanks Jess, for sharing your memories of Ryan and making them mine.
