So many of my memories of the Royals and their World Series runs are attached to Brady. If I remember correctly, seven, MetalHead and I started a "USA! USA! USA!" chant at Mae's once we won the series against the Blue Jays. There are few stories in my entire life that make me smile that big when I share it with others. eff, when I think about it. He's one of the few people i knew who would ask "how are you?" and legitimately want to hear the real answer, even if it was in a crowded bar late at night. And I mean, EVERYTIME he asked.
I can't express enough how awful I feel for not being good at keeping in touch with him once he moved to KC. And especially once all of this bullshit going on was clearly more serious than it originally seemed like.
I hope I can use this combo of bawling like a baby and happy reminiscing to motivate me to keep in better touch with the friends I don't see in person much anymore. I'm really happy that fattyfest gives us dorks a reason to all see each other. I love all of you and I know it's cliche, but I'm here for anyone who needs anything disirregardlessly of time of day, what it is, etc. etc.
