Alter Bridge - In Loving Memory …

My best friend and brother from another mother died in a motorcycle accident on August 19th 2007.. just so happens that he was riding my motorcycle at the time.

We lived together, we would frequently drink Maddog 20/20 and get completely obliterated. We would use this time to take turns picking songs and trying to stump the other person with something new.

One night, we came across this song. We loved each other and frequently spoke about old age and smoking cigars together. However, we were realistic about our lifestyles and so we made a decision.

Whoever went first would make sure that this song was played at the others funeral.

This song was played at both his University wide memorial and his funeral. I love it so much, but it devastates me every time I hear it.

RIP AFF Jr. - you are sorely missed. No words of mine can express the sadness I feel every time I realize that you’re not here with me today; to see my son grow up, and to grow old with me. I love you still and the deepest parts of my soul cry out with remorse every single day. I love you bro.

I’m telling you!!! They are my Dad’s favorites for a reason. Honestly… I believe I’ve read them through at least 7-8 times.

This is by far one of my favorite series EVER! Love reading these from start to finish. She is such a stellar character.

Honestly, if you haven’t read Empire of Man, by Weber and Ringo… stop everything and read these. 4 books, incredible.
