....one of Adam's friends dropped by last night...he'd been away on a personal journey for an entire year...he saw magnificent things and proved things to himself that probably seemed unimaginable at one time...but he did it...he met his goal and what a proud feat he performed...while on his journey he discovered the news of Adam's passing and all he could think about was Adam's smile...that's all many of us think about primarily when we say his name...it rings synonymously with smiles and laughter...he, too thinks Adam's spirit needs to live on...Adam had a gift...an amazing gift...this unique ability to surpass all barriers...be befriended everyone...he expressed kindness and love, sympathy and understanding...he represented a "real guy"...the heartfelt and sincere type...he wasn't afraid to tell anyone anything...sometimes it wasn't always sugary....but he didn't lie...he also made himself "there" for his pals...middle of the night...whenever...he could be counted on. He had this unique ability to put himself into the position they had been put into...he understood....he truly understood...and I was truly proud of the man he was becoming...he had such a good soul...an old fashioned spirit that you rarely see anymore. He told his buddies he loved them...there he'd stand...big and bold, a powerful stance...like a big blonde teddy bear...ready with a hug or that warmth and expression of sincerity...yes, his legend need to continue....and his friend seemed to inspire me...his quest...his journey...his Faith and his connection to my son...is there more I need to do still? I think there is...
