Hi witty!
Ii just needed somewhere to write my feelings, so feel free to
scroll past.
Recently, my friend Skylar passed away. He didn't die from
drugs or suicide. He was born with water on his brain. He was multi
handicapped his entire life. He died because of complications from
the water on his brain.
I met Skylar in the beginning of 4th grade. He moved away at
the end of 5th grade. I only knew him for two years, but he touched
my heart forever. He was the sweetest nicest person I have
ever met. He always had a smile on his face and always gave you
hugs. Everyone adored him. How could they not? He was so
happy and cheerful. At first I was nervous around him.
I had never met anyone who was handicapped. It
didn't take long for me to realize that he wasn't different
and shouldn't be treated any different. I became close to
him and loved to spend time with him. I was so happy when I
found out he was in my 5th grade class too. However 6th grade
came and I went to the middle school and Skylar moved away. I
have never forgotten about him.
I just found out he died. How could someone so happy be gone? And
why was he dead? Water. H2O. Something living things need for
survival, but turned into his death. Life can be so
cruel.
I am just so lucky to have met Skylar. You will never be forgotten.
