Yesterday at 9:43
Ifound out one of my close friends passed away from pnemonia. He had cancer and his immune system failed him. I got a text from a friend of mine saying "Awh:( I'm so sorry! I knew you two were good friends. Stay strong♥" my only reaction was confusion because I hadn't heard anything yet. Scared and confused I logged into facebook and scrolled down. That's when I burst into sobs. Everywhere, from every single person was an "RIP Corey". My friend Sam happened to be over and she had no idea until that moment either. We cried for what seemed like hours. I slammed walls, and screamed. I just couldn't, and still can't, understand how something like this could happen. Corey has been battling cancer for four years now. It's a miracle that he survived to this point when all doctors said otherwise. On 11/11/11 my entire school got together and split up every five minutes of the day. The entire day was dedicated to Corey. We all got bracelets and said our prayers. So every second of that day, someone was praying for him. I think our prayers were answered when Corey built up the strength and courage to walk down the isle to graduation and receive his diploma. His twin brother Chris, also a good friend of mine, helped him as he walked up onto the stage.I am so thankful that he got to experience that moment but right now I am at a loss for words. I just can not wrap my mind around the fact that he is gone. Corey's younger brother, Brenden who is my age, has been on a mission trip in New Orleans for the past week and a half. He flew in this morning, just receiving the news late last night. My heart breaks for him. He couldn't say good bye or see his brother during the last moments of his life. This whole thing is so unfair and it isn't right. I haven't smiled or laughed all day. All I have been doing is sitting on my bed staring at the wall.
Corey, I will always remember your determination, courage, humor, and love of life. You truely were an inspiration to everyone who knew you. You have a huge family that love you unconditionally. I know you are up there in heaven right now looking down on all of us. And I know that you are probably as happy as ever to be cancer free. We all love you and we will forever miss you.
Rest Easy Corey♥
