a cold slap of reality

yesterday [novmber 16 2008] i lost a friend. his name was skyler moore. he and his little sister where killed is a car crash. it hit his class mates hard when they reveiwed their last words to skyler and his little sister taishann. some called skyler a freak and told him he sucked dick....okay he did have fish lips, but that didnt really matter to some people. some said that they hated his sister because she was a mean bitch. but did it ever accur to them that they bolth did have friends and family that cared? several people in class left that day with sorrow filled minds and heavy hearts...those who stayed wrote their names on poster board and tapped them on the wall. they even covered their lockers in notes saying how much they missed them and how awesome they where...saying their sorry for teasing and making fun of them...skyler cut himself with jagged peaces of metal. soime think it might have been something that happened at home, and other now for a fact that it was because of the mentle pain that came with being verbaly abused.
he did, however, have a true friend. his name is kollin green. as soon as he herd of skyler's death, he started to cry, and later, went home. that day was unproductive in the matter of school work. the teachers had to comfort the students as they cried endlessly for their lost class mate.
i am sad that he died, but i know that he is in gods loving arms right now.
and with his death, many relationships where sewn back together. me and my cousin kayla got into a fight over a boy. yes it was stupid, as that boy was unfaithfull and unworthy of any of us. but with skylers death, we all came together and whispered words of comfort to the people we truely loved who also knew him.
my mom and dad, though they live far apart, bolth saw the newz cast about the car crash and tried to comfort me. it felt like a hazy dream. i still cant wrapp my mind around the fact that i will never see him again. i wont ever hear his voice. but at least, i wont ever hear someone make fun of skyler moore ever again. his favorite word, though none of us knows why, was "giggity" he would say it after almost every sentance.
his parrints survived the crash and his family is mournng for him and his sister. i dont know when the funeral is, so i wont be going. and i feel that, as one of the many who picked on him, i am not worthy to go to his funeral, where many of his truely sad family are going to gather...
and also, taishann would have turned 12 today. [november 17th 2008]
