Rest In Peace, Donny Barley

I hope you make some other emo kid as happy as you made me these last four years we were together. But alas, I fear no one will love you as much as I did. Giving you up to that man today felt like selling a child for crack. Except crack in this case means a credit card bill.

We had a lot of fun times over the years, Donny. And Spirit Bird will be no consolation. He doesn't measure up to your greatness. You will be the benchmark by which all my other basses are measured.

I love you, kiddo.
