Lost Someone Important?

I lost a pretty close friend to me back in highschool. He was a grade under me, but him and I were awesome friends. We lived in a small town so you were friends with pretty much everyone and when I heard the news it crushed me. He was such a great kid, always making people smile and brightening up their days, I know he did that for me a lot. Him and I were planning on starting a band only a few weeks prior to his accident. He was an outstanding drummer and I am sad to say, I never had the pleasure of being able to actually collaborate with him. We played guitar together a few times and I would listen to him drum at school a lot, but we never actually had a chance to jam together and I wish we would have. He had so much talent it's a shame he got taken away from the world so soon. He was definitely a good person and a great friend. His memory lives on with me in a way, the guitar we used to share for a while I named after him. I take care of it to this day. Sounds cheesy, but we had some good laughs with that old thing. I miss him and everytime I play that guitar, he'll always be there. :smile:

I've lost plenty of people who meant a lot to me. The first one was a friend of mine when I was 9. His house caught on fire while he was asleep and died. I found that out while I was watching the news. The next several days after that sucked. Next one was my grandpa when I was 13. My mom got a phone call at around 6:30am, and at the time, I was getting ready for school (bus came around 7am). Sad thing is, exactly two months after that, my father died. Those two deaths really changed my life and my personality drastically. Though, I keep a tradition my dad and I would always do when we went down to the shore. There's this frog game where you have to launch the frog onto a lily pad. I still continue playing that everytime as of this day.
