Collin Eisert-Wlodarczyk

In the past week, I have lost a dear friend. This really shook my world. Though he was not my best friend, as he was my sister's, he meant a lot to me. 


Collin is like my brother Connor. They are pretty much the same person. They speak the same way, act the same way and even have the same birthday. Whenever I would call Collin "Connor", he would call me Ali and proceed to "not speak" to me the rest of the night of work. 
I tricked him into looking for the diet lemons one day. He spent about 20 minutes in there before realizing it was a joke. One time, I got him to convince Josiah to rotate the air in the cooler (of course a made up job). He did it. With a straight face. It was hilarious!! Collin gave the best back rubs. Which was nice because working in the back during lunch was real tense. I could use one right now. 


I am so thankful for my Chick-fil-A family. Some may make fun of how much I speak of Chick-fil-A and my time there, but they really are my second family. Going to the funeral was hard. It was hard to say goodbye to a friend that makes me feel better every time I see him. Saw. That's so weird to say. But Chick-fil-A made this easier to get through. The whole crew was able to go to the funeral because 11 operators from other stores came up to work at our store (for a total of maybe two hours). There is a reason I love this company so much and I am grateful for the opportunity to say that I work there. 


But unfortunately it is time to move on. Collin wouldn't want us to be sad. As a matter of fact, he is probably laughing at how lovey-dovey we are all being right now. ha BALLIN. I love you forever and always.
