Well shit. I watched the video. I read your words, and now there's tears for Kai here in the Appalachians
When I was much younger, one of my two best friends, people I considered closer than a brother, took his own life.
That was in 1993. I have never forgotten him, I still love him, and I still miss him.
Kai is going to be with you in the same way because love doesn't die when the body does. That love lasts. Your message, about cherishing those we love, that's a truth. It may not stop the worst from happening, but they'll know they are loved, and that's all we can really do sometimes.
With my friend, Rick, I had last seen him the night before. When he left, we hugged, I told him I loved him. I thought I would see him the next day, but I'm so glad we were the kind of young fools that weren't afraid to share love. Losing him was hard, but I could hold on to being certain he knew he was loved.
It's pretty obvious in your video that Kai knew he was loved. He's shown around people sharing love with him, and that's a beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
