In Memory of Adam
It is so impossible to imagine you’re gone. I didn’t know you very well, or for very long, but I will remember you for as long as I live. Your death, as tragic and heartbreaking as it is, has reminded me that I need to snap out of my depression and start living again. To do otherwise is unfair to your memory. You were trying to turn your life around, trying to turn a new leaf and start over.
I think of all the things you never got the chance to experience, and I weep for the life that was cut short. I know you never learned to trust a girl in your life, and I’m devastated for that. I know that you never got to fall in love, travel somewhere you’ve never been but wanted to go; you never got the chance to say goodbye to your loved ones or give forgiveness to those who now will always be burdened by their mistakes (and that’s no fault of yours, but I know if you could go back and say “everything’s okay, it’s all forgiven, I love you”, you would in a second. It’s the man you were).
I hope you’ve found peace. I pray that you will watch over those who love you, and who will always love you. Especially Joe, because you were like a brother to him and he is hurting terribly right now, which amplifies my miniscule pain to unbearable amounts.
Your death was a tragedy. Your life will not have ended in vain; all of us who were blessed enough to know you will honor you forever.
