Amby was the best man at my wedding.  I was surprised at how into it he got.  He insisted that he have his done that morning.  He spent a nice chunk of change to get it cut and styled, but if you ask me it ended up looking the same as it always did.

He also was responsible for a prank that was played on me.  He shaved one of his legs, and then I--blindfolded and thinking I was reaching for Kara's garter--felt up my brother's womanly leg, and was subsequently traumatized.

I wanted to post something earlier, but I just wasn't able to yet. I just want anyone who loved Ambrose to see yet another person appreciated and cared for him. Ambrose was beautiful, real and totally just...himself. He and his love for his friends/family was universal, and that was my favorite thing about him, his acceptance and easy love of anyone who was in his life. No judgment, none of society's bs about what was cool, what was not. No one will ever be like him. I had another close friend pass away soon after Amby, and Brendon and I are just broken hearted to lose two people that we loved so much and at such a young age. I guess I'm angry at our bodies for being so fragile. But Ambrose is living on through the people who loved him and that is one thing I feel certain about. Life after death truly means to me that you live on through the memories of those who knew and loved you, and those memories are what need to help us get through incredibly hard times like these. I love you, Amby and I miss you a lot.

I think about Amby every day and think of all the amazing moments he and I have had together.

All the time I tell people stories about Ambrose and it really lights up the room.  It's not very uncomming for me to be at a gathering and start telling a story about Ambrose and within a minute almost everyone in the room is listening.  He's had such a great history and has impacted so many people.

I took the pictures that I had for the memorial and put them up in my apartment today.  It looks really great and I think I'll always have those pictures with me where ever I move and live.

About a month ago Ambrose called me to tell me about a dream he just had. 

In his dream he swallowed individual people at different times during the dream.  Each time he swallowed that person he was brought back to that time with them.  He swallowed someone and was transported to Vermont, where he once lived.  And Arcata.  And Redding.  And with each person he swallowed and was transported to that time with them, he said he remembered so vividly what those times where like, as if he was there right then and not in a dream.

He was so descriptive with his dream's details that I told my boyfriend about it after Ambrose told me.

Before, or after (I can't remember) this dream, Ambrose posted a comment on his myspace that said something like, "I feel I have left a lot of my friends behind and I am sorry."

Ambrose died on a leap year probably planned so that we could not dread that anniversary.  He would not want us to grieve.
