You never think it could happen to you
Well i recieved a call last night from a friend telling me one of my friends died in a car accident... it was right after a basketball game were we went into OT and won with 2.6 seconds left... so i went from such a high point... to horribly low point.. They say he hit a patch of ice and went head on with another car.. its horrible... dont ever take ur friends, family, or your own life for granted please..
Im sorry i just needed to rant... its really fucked up
Yes it is. My son had a very close call in his accident on Thanksgiving(posted in another thread) where it could have been extremely serious but both drivers got away with no injuries. Life can be lost in a snap.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry for your loss.
Earlier this year, a classmate of mine in my Music Theory class lost his life after foolishly racing his car on the street. He lost control and slammed into a tree.
A real shame because he was a wonderful pianist.
I am so sorry. Last week three girls on a cheerleading squad just north of Birmingham died in an accident. Nothing but "driving while young". You kids should appreciate that, but you can't. None of us can.You can't always find a reason. It sucks, but it's life. That should not have happened but it did.You can know that we are all thinking about you. Be strong. That's corny, but the best I can think of...
I can't tell if you're talking to me or the OP. I'm sorry but watch to whom you're replying to. It gets confusing.

And when they are taken in their youth it is much worse.Live well for him. I really don't think anyone wants us to hang around sad because we miss them.....We all take life for granted yet, it is so fragile....
During the summer from sixth to seventh grade a few years back, my friend who was, oh so intelligent and such an innocent, nice and smart guy was hit by a fire truck and died. It was very disappointing to see someone so good gone as well as guilt-inducing for me because before seventh grade, I was never too nice to him. Now looking back on it, I wish I had known him better.
I know how you feel...
To everyone that has replied to this--thank you so much.. it put a smile on my face to know that some people will be thinking about him... We all went to his house last night and his mother put out a bunch of pictures and his baseball stuff on a table... and put on home movies... pretty rough.. but we will get through it...
thank you all very much
Its hard losing one of your friend, earlier this year my best mate died of a heart attack while out training, it shock our club up (which has never been the same since) and the town still suffers from the loss. Even now I'm still coming to terms that he isnt there anymore, best thing to do is let it all out and remember the best of times and never forget
You really think people do that? Live well for those that have died?Sounds like a lot of bull to me. And I'm sure I'll get tons of replies "How insensitive" etc. etc.
Ok, outside of close family members, I doubt anyone does this.Example: Not to long ago some kid that was pretty popular at my high school died in a car crash (drunk driving was involved, etc. etc.). They had flowers up at the spot where he died and all that, people saying they would never forget him. A month after it happened, there were no more flowers at the spot where he died, and everyone seemed to have forgotten him
They don't fade. There is ALWAYS something that reminds you of a lost friend or family member.I've been through my share of loss. Occasionally, I get mad, because I wish I would have learned more from some of them, I wish I could have helped some of them more, but, in the end, I smile, say thanks for being part of my life, and give that day all I got for them.(It's like the only way I can pass on the hugs I want to give 'em).

It's not called forgetting... it's called moving on with life. It's hard to lose a friend, especially so young. It's something you never forget, but at the same time you have to move on with your own life. Might sound cliche, but it's what the person would have wanted. I know I personally don't want people to dwell on my death when that day comes. I want them to remember the good times with me and smile.
And to the OP, I am very sorry to hear about your loss.
