Before you jump into Simon's Farewell, I want to make a few things known:

1. This story is a creative nonfiction piece. That means that this is a true story (to the best of my memory) of my life told in a more creative way.

2. For the sake of the identity of someone in the story, I will be changing their name to .

Simon's Farewell is a story of my childhood centered around two: Simon and Chris.

I literally hate updating/editing the chapters after I publish them because then all the comments disappear from that paragraph💔
