HI... 

LISB because in ONE moment you are happy and then the other you are sad.   ONE moment you are smiling and the other you are crying.  Another you are breathing and then you may simply be not!!!!

Now, I have known Chris since the third grade and we used to always hanging out together.  No matter what was going on, he was always my Best friend.  After not seeing him for so many years, all of a sudden we reconnected after not talking to him after for 8 years or so.

I reached his website and read his story. I just realized that Living is sooooo huge!!!  After 8 years of Faith knowing that ONE Day we would see each other again. IT HAPPENED.  The Power of Faith leads US to magical happenings .... I'm thankful for still having my Best friend and Brother!!!!!

Today I finished a memoir for my school. I wrote about the moment I learned about my friend committing suicide and the moments after. It was really hard for me, but he inspires me. The life he lived, his faith in God, the happiness he gave me, and the friendship he shared to me.

The first night I met him we went and saw a movie together. The second night we went and sang karaoke with another couple. We got up to sing 'Eye of the Tiger.' Now that song is sacred to me. Now looking back  on the lyrics - they touch my heart. They read, "Risin' up, back on the street. Did my time, took my changes. Went the distance now I'm back on my feet. Just a man and his will to survive." Those memories just make me smile. He just makes me smile. He's such a great person. And I know more than anything I'll see him again. I just really, really miss him.

So writing my paper was kinda hard and I shed a few times thinking back on the pain and losing him. Even through I remembered the pain, I also remembered everything I have learned from Nathan and this whole new chapter in my life. I have learned that with friendship, with people coming together so many great things can come. That together we can make magic happen in this world. I ended my paper with the following.

"It will be one year on May 12, 2013 that I lost Nathan. That day will be hard. I will recall those tears and those pains. But most importantly I will remember the life that Nathan led. His friendship is remembered daily, our laughs, our jokes, the fun times – I remember those all the time. Nathan taught me to...

Yes, I am a High School Musical fan. There is a song called 'We're All in This Together' towards the end of the first movie. The lyrics sing, "Everyone is special in their own way. We make each other strong - we're not the same. We're different in a good way. Together's where we belong."

I recently watched a movie called Pitch Perfect. Yes, it is a ridiculous movie and I have seen it 3x in the movie theater. Each time i enjoy the experience of going more and more, because everyone is laughing together and clapping together to the music. It is an experience unlike any other I have experienced at a movie theater before. Everyone is laughing together and literally cheering for the good guys to win! Everyone walks out of the movie theater dancing and singing to the music. They are all in it together. 

Every day I miss him, every day I hurt. I remember him always; I think of those memories every day of my life. The times we stayed up till the morning hours, our endless car rides, talks about the girls he liked and the boy I like, about our future plans for the summer such as skydiving, and all the times we spent laughing with our friends. 

Those first few days after everything happened, my friends were my strength. They were the ones that held me up when I couldn't seem to hold it together, we were all in it together We talked, we cried, we hugged. There is a common bond I have with those few people that will hold us together forever.

LIVING is so BIG because.... well, I myself have some really close friends and they are there for me no matter what..
