Vallin's messages

Hey Vallin, I’m a month early to pay my respects this year, but it should be ok. I’ve been feeling nostalgic today. 2008 was such a long time ago. I was just a little kid when I joined this website. I always used it as an outlet to run away from the numerous problems that the world seemed to constantly throw at me at the time. The Red Bucket gave me solace when nothing else could. I would log on every single day, and you and the rest of the Bucket would always cheer me up. It’s not often I get to talk about this, but you guys always made me feel like we were one big family. Like I truly belonged for once. After all this time, I just wanted to let you know I never forgot about you man. You were a kind soul, and a good person. Thank you for guiding me through those rough formative years of my life. It might not have felt like much back then, but it meant the entire world to me. Hope to make you proud one day buddy. Now rest easy old friend.

Stopping by to pay my respects. It’s been a while since we last spoke so my memory on what our last conversation was about is still a bit blurred. I still remember finding out the shocking news that you had passed… what a sad day indeed. You were truly a great guy and we had some great conversations- it would have been great to have met you in person. Who knows, maybe some day we will end up meeting.

Rest in Peace Vallin. You won’t be forgotten.

Hello dear, I miss you. I wish you were still here to talk to.. Its nights like tonight where loss crosses my mind and I realize how lucky we are to have people enter our lives, A couple friends of mine lost someone very close to them a few nights ago. My stomach is in knots. He drove his car into a cement barrier, ending his life, i wonder what you would say if you were here.. Please.. where ever you are, just make sure his loved ones are okay. I love you and miss you, to think its been so long… <3
