Friendship is such a hard thing to lose. One of my most vivid memories of Camp King is that people came and people left. During my time on the post I made and lost many friendships. We always made promises that we would keep in touch and never lose contact. Unfortunately, as life shifted us from place to place assignment to assignment, this promise was usually broken. Unfortunately, this was the case with my friendship with Kelly.He had a tremendous impact on my life then and who I have become today.
Sometimes in life we are a day late and a dollar short in trying to find those we love as friends, those friends that we can pick up a friendship with years later and it seems as though not a lot has changed. This would have been case with Kelly, were he here today. I regret that the promise to keep in touch was broken. I miss ya Kelly.
