Seems like the most amazing people are the ones that leave us too soon.

The world lost another hero on Friday. Another bright star whose light shone for far too brief a time, in the eyes of those who knew him.

Thomas Michael Mozik, JR. (TJ, Teej, Teejers, Teejmeister)... You will forever be in our hearts.

I know exactly what he would say to me right now. He'd hug me, tell me I'm beautiful, and tell me to be happy that I was one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to call him friend. Then he'd start laughing at my episode of crying at the grocery store. "Clean up aisle three!" He'd start making jokes, and before I would know it, my tears would become laughter, and all would be right with the world.

Teej gave great advice. Whether or not I took it before it was too late was often another story.
Teej gave 100% all the time. I first met Teej in the 6th Grade. 15 years later, I'm standing alone in my thoughts, and thanks to him I have some awesome memories to reflect on, and should hell freeze over and I procreate, I have some amazing stories of our adventures to share and pass on.

I miss you Teej. I love you, and my heart aches knowing you're gone, but a piece of you lives on in all of us that had the oppurtunity to know you, and have you in our lives.
