Life is so short. I know that sounds cliche. I think about you pete. I recall the night of the party in my dreams. I can still see you. But now all you are is a memory of what you were and what you left behind. Those men will carry that guilt. The disgusting guilt of taking someone so pure from this world. Sometimes i still ask myself why i went to that party. Why my grim reaper necklace fell 3 times. I wonder if I didn’t listen to my heart, would i have been able to save you? Or would i have died as well? We miss you. And we mourn you. Your cousin passed away today. We all know he never got better after you left. How can broken things ever be solid again? How can the emptiness be filled if what can make it better is gone forever?
