I read this and it saddens me because I know what it's like to lose friendships. Ray, I'm proud of you for extending yourself and trying to mend your friendship with Aaron, its too bad he is just too proud to suck it up and take your offer to re-ingnite the friendship you guys once had. Just remember, its his loss, certainly not yours because you are one of the best people I've ever met and its a shame that he doesn't realize that.

I hope you are the friend that Aaron needs. I hope that you always remember what you guys have and quit getting caught up in the bullshit like Labor Day. He needs you, so please be there for him. Remember that actions speak a lot louder than words.
