Vin is the best friend ever and God has blessed us so much in our relationship.  And has kept us close despite distance.  He’s good like that.  I hope that everyone will try and be the kind of friend that Calyn is to me because I know that so much of who I am is because of our relationship and our seeking God together.  As much as I miss a lot of the physical, day-to-day aspects of our relationship, I realize how blessed we are to have a relationship that is on a deeper level than those things.  It is more about loving each other and encouraging each other to love God and love people.
