RIP: A Dear Friend
It finally happened. It’s over. I guess I’ll have to move on, although I don’t see how that will happen. You’re probably wondering, “Matt, what the heck are you talking about?” Well, where do I start? I guess I’ll put it plain and simple. I lost a dear friend today. Although we’ve only known each other for about a year and a half, we’ve grown really close. Sometimes we’d go to class together (mainly when it’s warm…my friend never liked going outside in the cold). We’ve been shower buddies practically every time I’ve taken a shower since I started college. When we first met, we bonded instantly. I’d been waiting for a friend like that. And now my friend is gone forever. It is especially sad that it happened today because my roommate is gone for the weekend, so I will have to mourn in solitude with no one to comfort me.
That’s right, it’s my pair of black Ocean Pacific sandals. They broke after my shower today. You will forever be in my heart…
On the bright side, I can start wearing my new Old Navy sandals that I’ve had for months, waiting for my OPs to break.

When I first saw your blog, I got a little nervous because I wasn’t sure who or what you were going to be talking about. As I read on, a smile came to my face because I knew it must be about something other than a human being. Good thing you had those Old Navy’s on hand! I love you!!
