I still won't force myself to believe it. I feel a ball of disbelief rolling in my gut... just rolling and rolling, over and over, growing bigger and bigger. FUCK! How could this...... I don't know. I just don't fucking know. I wouldn't let myself believe it the past two days. Not when Mark ran into blockbuster to tell me Wednesday night. Not when I went to the mall yesterday and Aaron told me. Now I know it. And it hit...... hard. It hit everyone hard and cold and nasty. The way it shouldn't. But it did. Good memories swirl to mind. Too many to tell. So do the bad. Heh. Adam.... we'll all miss you.
