though you are gone i always walk with you often in my head, i went into 2025 in a negative headspace cause i couldnt bare myself to walk out into a world that doesnt include you, our daily conversations, the laughs we shared, the up and downs. the things that made you meaningful to me, you were a great friend Ted, you shared compassion and strenght with those that walked or talked with you, without you i wouldn't be the person i am today and made improvements on myself cause you knew i could do better, be better. going into 2026 i will raise a glass for you my friend, for though you are not walking amonst us you are still amongst us in our heart and soul, rest easy friend, hope to see you in another life time

Man. One year. I'm at a loss of words of the high highs and the LOW lows of this year. Every so often I stopped by to watch that day timer tick up, every time hoping beyond hope you'd somehow come back yet knowing that won't be the case.

But, I continue to press on in your honor, no matter how ♥♥♥♥ the road will get. I will await you beyond the veil, so we all may yap again and share laughs. I miss you, man, but knowing you get to rest unburdened makes it just a bit less painful on me.

Rest well, goofy shark. Swim eternally amongst the stars.

365 days since you left us all. I have watched the day timer tick up slowly. I loved you, deeply, damn near eternally. You were beautiful and caring, and you brought so many good people together. We all miss you.

I hope you're at least at peace. God knows you deserve at least that. I hope to see you again someday, but I'll make sure it's a damn long time.

Rest well, my wonderful shark.

A day hasn't gone by without you being on my mind. words can not even start to describe how much I miss you so much Ashr, I hope you're resting well.

We'll be yapping again soon enough, bozo.

One whole year without you, it still doesn’t feel right. You haven’t been forgotten, Ted. We’re still all here and we all miss you more than ever.

I love you man. That perfect image of you in my head will never change, you were amazing.

A year without you. I don't expect to be the last here tonight, I hope whoever stops by can feel the same sense of solace I hope to feel tonight.

I love you, I remember your beautiful face offering me to sit and play helldivers in your chair, the last time I saw you. The light in your eyes, the hope. You left us with a smile I feel in part responsible for giving and that is an honor I will hold till I see you again. Shark, Reindeer, whatever I may be Ill always be munching cables for us both brother. You were my best friend, my brother, my blood.

To have been that to you is one of my greatest treasures. Rest well brother, Ill be with you again soon enough.
