I wrote this as a response but I want to say it everywhere, this is what I think.
That's life bro, You get one shot, and one shot only. There are some damn lucky second chances and sometimes you get close but you just can't hash it. Monty was awesome, and no matter where he is, he'll still be awesome. All because he isn't here in body, that doesn't mean he isn't here in spirit. He gave us the torch and we have to keep pushing on, making sure that we do the man proud. I'll keep writing and moving forward, it's all I can do. You rock your story and I'll ride mine. He gave it his all and that's all we could have demanded and all I ever want. Is it fair his line got cut? Hell no. Does it hurt that someone who inspired me like that is gone? It fucking hurts like someone ripped out my heart, beat it to a paste and shoved it down my throat. If he knew we were throwing in the towel because his body did, would he be disappointed?
DAMN STRAIGHT.
I'll keep running forward bro, I hope you can do the same.
