Aloha Nick
I just found out one of my first boyfriends died recently at the still young age of 48. No details about how it happened, I just know he's gone.
It was a long time ago but thinking back I have fond memories of this person. He's the only partner I've ever had that I never fought with, and we parted on fairly good terms wishing each other well. We did have a few intense moments toward the end of our relationship, because he had a drug problem and I was trying to escape that world, but otherwise I remember him as a pretty decent, mellow guy. From what I have heard about him since then he had also moved on and was doing very well.
I don't know what else to say except Aloha, Nick.
