We all go throughout life thinking...it will never happen to me. You see tragedies happen every day, all over the news, the internet, people who you never know and will never know. You feel bad for them, you don't cry and don't know their pain (well, you might not) and you sit there and continue to think: It will never happen to me.
Well, I am one of those people. I say I live to expect everything, but in the back of my head, I know there are some things I just never really thought I'd see happen.
I knew this guy. Not all that well, but a lot of my other friends are close with him. After I went to an anime convention this weekend and saw him there, he seemed so happy, content I should say. Then I heard after we left, on Sunday, that he had gone missing...and the only phone call he had made was to his father and it made no sense.
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 - They found his body dead in his car an hour out of his way of getting home.
I'm still in shock. The cause of death is said to be suicide, but no note was left. I know a lot of my friends are going to be a mess today. I was going through my myspace friends list and saw his picture on there...I still really can't believe it. I've been lucky enough to go through life and not have to experience much death in close relation to me. Besides my grandfather and great grandmother who didn't really hold much of a place in my life as I never really got that close to them. But hearing that a friend of mine, who seemed so happy with his life, committed suicide is really just...all I can say is wow. He was only 18 too. My love goes out to his family and all my other friends that I know he meant a lot to.
