Knowing a man like Tim was like a piece of starlight: beautiful, bright, and rare. He had the heart of an angel and spirit of a warrior. He knew how to make people smile, even when he was exhausted. He had walls built around his heart, but once you showed your sincerity, he would never leave your side. Tim was much smarter than he let people see, and when they underestimated him, he loved to prove them wrong. His only weakness was that he cared too much.
