Does anyone know what it's like?
Does anyone know what it's like to loose a close friend? No, I don't mean you guys got distant and now you guys barely talk anymore..I mean has anyone lost their close friend? Back in December I lost my close friend in a tragic dirt bike accident. The good thing is that he didn't suffer, he died instantly just because a coward wasn't driving safely. He was only 14..his birthday was the following weekend, and the weekend after that? It was Christmas. That's presents he wouldn't be able to open, and a family without their child. His poor brother is only in 5th grade and it's been rough on him as well. I've known his family my whole life, going way back to preschool. It's 5 months later and i'm still having a hard time. Everything is building up on me to the point where I just break down and cry. He was the nicest person you would ever meet and we would always be partners in 8th grade. Everytime I hear his song on the radio, I know it's him. I'm very close with his family, and I see them all the time. We go and visit each other and just talk about everyting and anything. But for me, just going and being able to talk to them is actually helping me. It makes me feel better, and makes me smile. A couple weeks ago, I went to a ceremony with the family and I just cried in his mom's arms. I miss him so much. I keep in touch with his mom all the time, almost everyday, and i can definately tell that it's helping me. I'm also helping out with the family, helping them sell things in his rememberance, and I know he would be so proud of me. I visit his grave site all the time and just talk to him about everything, and honestly it helps. He's smiling down on me and i know it. I will still always have those days where all i want to do is cry, and it's better just to get it all out. I miss you so much bud, and i will always keep you remembered in my heart.
