a fallen hero.

Ive been having a hard time figuring out why shane's death has been in my head so strongly, and after hearing all of his friends and family speak this afternoon i feel much better. Shane was a hero to me, he gave the go ahead to be myself on skis and elsewhere. To not give a fuck, but not in a hurtful way. To laugh, smile, and enjoy it all to the fullest. I guess im so beat up by it despite the small amount of interactions with him because i really looked up to him and was so completly humbled and awed by the non chalantness of his path. He was stoked and moving forward. So inspiring. Thank you.
