My condolences to Ryan's family. I first met Ryan when he moved in next door, and we would often hang out and talk about music. We became close friends, and I miss him every day. 

I miss my best friend today of all days. We would always keep each other motivated when we were in a funk. We helped each other when our fur-babies died within months of each other. He would listen to my cry over my fur-baby, and I would listen to him talk about his loss. To help with my grief, I planted a big garden and supplied him with lots of banana peppers, I always had plenty for him. When he passed away, I continued to give fresh vegetables to his mother.

Ryan was one of my best friends. We bonded over music, Lebanese Cuisine, politics, and gardening. We talked almost every day.  All I want to do is call him and tell him about my day and listen to what he did that day. We both were early raisers and I would see him leave every morning. Now when I get up, I miss hearing his voice when he is pulling out of his driveway. These past 9 days have been very hard. I can't stop thinking about my friend. I'm going to miss him dearly.  RIP MY FRIEND.
