Enough Said

Well, I suppose the phone call I just received was inevitable. Sooner or later, someone would bring it up and ask me what I'm planning to do in commemoration of the events a year ago. My friend asked how I plan to mark the year anniversary of Andy's passing; he wanted to know if I planned to talk about it in this blog, perhaps write about how those events have shaped my path. The answer is no.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? The best epitaph that I can write for him is that he opened the eyes of others to the beauty within their own hearts and souls. Nothing I can say would better sum up who he was or why he is so dearly missed.

I leave you with music, because in music, one finds bits of oneself and one's life. Here are ten songs for Andy... songs that he loved, that speak of what passed between us, and that touch upon my own feelings. For the friend that inquired if I'd pour my heart out in blog form, these songs are the answer.

Blessed be friends.
