I’ve never been really good at writing, and I’ve always been the sort of person who lets their emotions speak for them. It’s even harder when you’re trying to write all the words that would retell such a great friendship without rambling or having another breakdown.
I knew you as Xero well before I knew you as Dillon, and that was years ago. I remember all of us playing League of Legends until morning, even if I haven’t touched the game in years, it feels like we had a lot of really good (and frustrating) times. There were other times when we would play roleplaying games run by Demi, and I always looked forward to those. I would still mention those games to Jon, and he’d laugh, cause he knew we were a little bit crazy.
Jon knew you through me, but he still remembers playing League with you and the others. He still laughs every time he remembers yelling ‘donkey!’ over Skype and getting a good laugh out of you. I’m sure he was also happy that you and I got along so well, but really I think he was just glad to have someone else to keep me sane on the days he wasn’t able to keep me grounded.
A lot of this doesn’t really feel real to me still, but I’m very happy that you and I got to know each other. That we built a great friendship with one another that I’ll cherish forever and always. And that you will continue to live on through the stories I retell to my friends in the future.
