I look forward to calling him my brother in law.

Allan and I have been friends since sophomore year of high school. At the time, we were just two south jersey kids trying to find our way in the world, but today I stand proudly beside him as one of his best friends, and I am proud to call him the same. I’ve been there for most of the ride—I missed Allan’s equivalent of the Big Bang moment and when the dinosaurs went extinct—but to see the man he has transformed into since he met Sam has been a beautiful thing to witness as someone in close proximity.
