Hello, friend.
It’s been a while.
5 years, and I still think about you every day, and how unfair all of this is. Not a day has gone by without you on my mind - wishing I could somehow bring you back.
I spend a lot of time wishing - wishing you could see what your spirit has brought to this world, wishing you could see how your work has grown, how many lives you’ve changed; but most of all, wishing I could have seen what you would’ve done next. I know it would have been incredible, and so uniquely you.
5 years, and the pain still hasn’t gone away - but I know it never will. In a weird way, I’m grateful for that pain; it reminds me just how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. Your light burns brightly and intensely in all of us, and everyone you’ve touched - and that is a beautiful thing.
There will never be another like you, Monty.
I am so grateful I got to be a part of your life. My heart will forever miss you.
