In a matter of seconds your life can end. The death of a friend is harsh...im still in shock. Daniel Rak was 18 when he drowned in upstate NY, he tried to swim across the Delaware River. He was my first high school crush and he was friendly with me, he made me laugh and he helped me get through a depression that I was going through. He let me cry and made me laugh. Four yrs of my life were spent with him in the same building, walking around, cheering him on when he joined the wrestling team, listening to his corny jokes and just living the moment. I can't say that we were BFF but we were friends.
I spent the day at the mall with my mom and I didnt even think twice when I spent money on the ppl I love. Im not a materialistic person but I realized that I should tell the people that love me that I love them too. Now i have the urge to call up my SO and tell him that I love him and miss him..but im afraid that i will strt to cry and wont be able to tlk properly. Oh gosh....i think i'll do that tomorrow.
You'll never really forget it. I just had my 15 year high school reunion. A childhood friend of mine passed in a car accident before we graduated, and another friend of ours brought a beautiful memorial photo collage with her. It's been 16 years since he passed away, and we were all still moved.
