Christopher Tulsidaz

Can't you see that it's just raining, there ain't no need to go outside.
-Jack Johnson

Today marks the one year anniversary of the passing of my good friend, Christopher Tulsidaz.

I am crying now as I remember him. I am crying, remembering crashing his place to watch stoner flicks. Laughing together. And coming late for class together. Going for soccer practice. We were unconventional people, blessedly kindred spirits.

Why did you have to go Chris?

I loved you for your sense of humour, your natural talent, your turbulent but beautiful thoughts, your cool, laid-back style. I wanted to grow old in the presence of the person that is you.

Part of me wants to join you. Part of me always did. But I always hung on to life. I want to show the world that our ideals have a place in this world.

You died for love. But I wish I didn't have to leave you.

Oh Lord, please look over Chris.

Oh Lord, please don't forsake Chris.

I love you Chris. You are always in my heart.
