Finding Comfort

A hero returned home today. He was a Marine, but to me he will always be my best friend, Mr. Scott. And that's what will be in my memory and shine through my heart as long as I live.
I could go on and on about him because he was an exceptional person, but I won't. I know he was a hero because it truly was a part of his nature to strive to be and do his best at whatever he did. So it is no surprise that he is a hero, because he's always been.
I picked up a book I had given Luke to read because after I read it, it changed me. And since it meant so much to me I needed to share it with someone, and so I gave it to my closest friend. Below is a picture of him and I before going to the Renaissance Festival. With it is a page of that book with a quote that gives me comfort:

"Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends."
