It is hard to put into words how you feel about someone like Rory. He had a certain something about him. It was evident to everyone who knew him. You just couldn't resist the guy. The reason was different for everyone.
I don't think anyone has addressed this yet, but I just have to because it was my favorite part about Rory. It was the way he was around women...the ones he didn't have a chance with. He was suave and sweet and very flattering. How can you resist that? The truth is we couldn't resist it. We all loved Rory because he would make you feel so good, always made you feel at ease, and always made you feel wanted. Too bad he didn't have that power over himself.
The last time I saw Rory I remember being very happy to see him. I gave him a hug and we talked about how I hadn't seen him in a very long time and that it sucked. He agreed and commented that is just the nature of getting older and everyone being so busy. Later he was flirting with all the girls and for some reason I didn't really react to it like I usually do. He appologized and said that it is just what he does and that he would be doing it forever. I said, "Good! I hope so." It really makes me sad that he won't get to do it again. To any of us ladies. What will we do without you?
A slightly funny side bar is that all the guys of us women are aware of how we feel about Rory. That if asked a rediculous Newlywed game question "Which of your friends is your wife most likely to sleep with?" They all know the answer. He was just that good. So good that he knew none of us would ever do such a thing, but had fun playing around.
This of course is not all I have to say or think about Rory, but I had to share this unique account because I appreciated it a lot.
The one thing I distinctly remember about Rory that night was the last hug he gave me at the door. For some reason my mind made note of it. He gave great hugs. I will always remember that hug and I will always remember how unique and wonderful Rory was. We will all miss him terribly and often. We wish we could have fixed you and kept you forever.
