Rest in Peace
I want to pay respect to an acquaintance of mine who passed away a couple days ago. I don't know if some of you know there was a boy missing from Long Beach, NY after a rip wave carried him off into the Atlantic Ocean last Wednesday. It wasn't until Saturday when they found his body. He was the cousin of one of my close friends. And it hurts me to see him so torn up because of this because they were almost like brothers. He was only 19 and a very smart kid. He goes to the same college as me and every time I saw him, he was always smiling. I didn't know Emmanuel very well but we have hung out once about two years ago.
I am not a religious person; I stopped attending church at the age of 9 and 'became' an atheist around the time I was in junior high school. However, I prayed for him. I prayed that they would find him alive. I was in New Jersey camping when I heard the news that they found his body...Now I pray that his family is staying strong for him, especially my friend because, though we kind of drifted away from each other during college until recently when we had class together, I still care a whole lot about him and it makes my heart ache to see him like this.
Emmanuel, I hope you're in a better place now. Rest in Peace...
