   I found out this morning that my best friend, Chad, died last week. We lived on opposite coasts and hadn't seen each other in a couple years, but still had long, rambling phone calls pretty regularly. We saw life through different lenses and disagreed on a great many things, but still found common ground to laugh about yet more.

     He made his mistakes, but accepted his consequences and learned from them.

     I love you, brother. I miss you already.

     I can’t share too many of our stories -- statute of limitations not expired and all that -- but he had a way of finding hilarity in the most horrible, awful situations.

     He was a construction contractor. One time he slipped and fell, finding himself suspended upside down by a piece of rebar through his, ahem, guy parts. He called me from the hospital and had me in tears laughing at it. Not just anyone could've done that.
