"Dear Rudy,
Whats up B! How's everything going man? I hope heaven is treating you like a God. Man, its been two years since you left all of us. I remember like it was yesterday when you, Shawn and D-Ray made me drink my first beer. I think you made me an alcoholic! Oh wait, I'm not an alcoholic, I'm in college.
Speaking of college, it's my last year as a college student, well unless I go to grad school, but last time to be care-free before I enter the real world. I think I told you this last year but when I moved out here last year, I didn't know what I was thinking B. Middle of no where and far away from home. Being away from home like this, isn't so bad after all man. I met some of the coolest and nicest people here. Not stuck up like all the LA people, you know what I'm saying? School's hard man. I had pulled an all nighter last night doing two papers! Worst decision of my life, but I had to get it done. But overall, I'm doing well in my classes.
I know your going to ask me about the girls here cause that's all you talked about with me besides baseball. The girls here are different in a good way here; really down to earth, easy to talk to, friendly, you name it. And no I dont have a girlfriend. I have the worst luck with girls. I think its the timing, or maybe I just bought the wrong set of brooms.
Baseball is going good too. I dont know if I'll be starting this year but I'm busting my ass like always. If I dont get some playing time, I'm gonna be mad as hell. Yea, I switched from second base to third. Its different but I think it suits me more. I just gotta react to the ball and give me no time to think about it. Oh, and I'm gonna try to hit a bomb for you this year B. I know where ever I go, you'll be watching anyways but be on the look out.
Still, to this day, I regret not calling you back the one day I was at Disneyland with my family. I never realized that was the last time I was going to hear your voice. I always wonder if something different would have happened if I did give you a call back. I, along with others that cared and loved you, wish that you were taken away so early in life. I gotta start appreciating a lot more because something can be taken away in a blink of an eye.
I know you already will but keep us safe and look after us B. Ill have a couple of cold one for you today. Love you and miss you man. See you later, and have a beer for me ready when I come visit.
Sincerely,
Endo."
Never take life for granted. Appreciate the things you have in life. Tell the people that care about you that you love them because you never know when something will be taken away from you.
"It's never goodbye. Its see you later"
