Why?
He always said I was the clumsy one. He always made fun of my gracelessness. I've fallen off cranes, I've almost drowned in overflowing storm drains, I've been inside while a building exploded, and I've even almost died in a cave-in. I always had a knack of getting into trouble. Whether it is tripping over a shoelace to catching a deadly virus, I've always been the one to get hurt.
He always was the intelligent one. He had all the ideas. Whenever I got myself into a jam, he was there to rescue me. I couldn't have asked for a better friend. He was the one with a wife and kids. He was the one whose life mattered most.
Then why am I here today? Why was he inside that building when it collapsed? Why am I sitting in the front pew of a church, listening to his funeral?
It should be me in the casket up in front, not Roy DeSoto.
