my best friend's dad died the other day. he was young and in good health. my mom called me on my way into the hospital for work and the sinking feeling when she told me hasn't left since that morning : ( i grew up next door to the buscemi family. they are the coolest family. so many words to describe mr. vince ~ he was handsome, kind, funny, smart, calm, gentle, honest, loving, sweet....i could go on and on. my mom asked me when the last time i saw him.... my answer was "my whole life". kate has been my best friend since i was 3. i can't imagine the pain their family is feeling. i've spent the last few days with so many amazing memories of weddings, parties, being in their home, spending holidays with them and simply being a part of their family. he will truly be missed. go hug your dad, or in my case, send him a text that simply says "i love you".
i took this photo at kate and josh's wedding. the entire bridal party was getting ready and he was spending some time in the freezing cold, outside, looking at the sky and i'm guessing he's thanking god that he gets to walk his youngest daughter down the aisle this day : )
mr. v sent me this email 5 years ago and i've always kept it. how many of your best girlfriend's fathers tell you they love you? pretty amazing : ) love you too mr. v.
