Hey guys,

This is a special post to my buddy, Lee “Big Bear” Birt.

He ain’t feeling all that great but I just wanted to take time to let you guys know that he is living proof of what a true great friend is.

So what is a friend?

• A friend is someone who helps you out in times of need.
• Picks you up when you need to smile
• Doesn’t give up on you when you lose your way
• Helps you out dealing with relationships.
• Always stands by you no matter what.
• Someone who always makes you smile.
• Does what they can to cheer you up.

That is what a friend is and Lee is that.

I’ll give you guys an example, he helped me out when I had broke up with an ex about 20 months ago. I’ll never forget it. I was in such a bad way, I mean I was reeling like crazy, it felt like I got hit by a ton of bricks and the second load was on it’s way. So Lee pulls me aside, and tells me not to worry. I keep arguing telling him how much I loved her and so on and so forth.

This is the part I’ll never forget because though we had no idea at the time, he was actually breaking my state. Lee threatened me, and him being a big guy, though he has a heart of gold, I listened, this is what broke my state. He made me laugh, he  said,

“Dude if you don’t stop moping around I am gonna sit on you and I weigh a hell of a lot more then you, so until you get your act together I am gonna be sitting on you.”

I didn’t take him seriously, so he sat on me, and started saying aloud, “Adil don’t touch me there you know it’s my tickle spot.”

I couldn’t stop laughing, in the end after a few days of just hanging out and having fun, I smiled more, got happier and overall got passed that initial pain.

So to you big buddy, I hope you get well soon, and catch up on good times.

Much love and respect.

Adil
