On Monday 30th May, 2011 - a friend of mine took his life (reasons still unknown). I hadn't know him for longer than a year, and we didn't hang out a lot but right from the first day we met, we got on really well. I just wanna write this as my tribute to him.
Dear Sam,
The first time we met you were drunk and walking up through the town with two of my really good mates, after talking for all of 5 minutes, we headed back to the pub for a few more drinks - that's where I got to know you properly. You were such a great bloke, full of life and had an uncanny gift for making people laugh and smile. After that night, we continued to speak on Facebook and exchange texts, as well as hang out on the odd occasion. Georgina's BBQ was epic. As soon as you turned up, you was the life of the party (a quality of yours that will be gravely missed). I could go on to mention other times that we've been graced by your presence, but to be honest, a lot of them I don't remember well or, at all because of being so drunk.
We're all going to miss you, Sam. None of us will ever forget you and I just hope that you really are in a better, happier, pain-free place - that's what you would of wanted. Although I didn't get the opportunity to get to know you to the fullest extent; I feel privileged to have even known you at all. I'm proud to have called you my friend. We love you.
R.I.P. Sam
