Bradley James Ventura September 18th 1987-June 23rd 2009


My best friend passed away this morning. He was diagnosed with cancer Valentines Day 2008. After a month of being in agonizing pain he passed away peacefully this morning. It is a blessing. He doesn't have to suffer anymore. He is in heaven. I like to think that he is with Allison and they are catching up, and Allison is thanking him for taking care of me while I went through her death, and she's throwing in a missionary lesson or two. I'm not exactly sure why two of my greatest friends have been taken away from me so early, but I guess I just have sit back and be grateful that I had the opportunity to know them at all. They are the greatest people ever. They both taught me a lot. Ask anyone either of them had ever met, and they will tell you that they loved them too. But I got the special privilege of being their best friends. Being the person that got to know them the best. The person that got the majority of their time. Why am I so blessed? Though I know this, it's still been rough. It hasn't been 24 hours since brad passed, and I already miss him so much it hurts every part of my body. He was my life the last year and a half. Yesterday as I rubbed his feet as he slept I had this overwhelming feeling of pure love for him, I'm glad he's not suffering anymore, but I hope he knew how much I loved him. I hope that he always knew that.

I love you Bradley James.
