my college room mate of 3 years committed suicide -- RIP ross hughes

[vsarto]

i'm at a loss for words here. im not used to dealing with death. well, i guess none of us are. but this is the first time that it's happened to me. my grandmother and uncle both passed away when i was younger--like in my early teens but i was too young really. their memory has slowly faded away. ive forgotten who they were really--just

I'm so sorry to hear that, he was a great guy.

[vsarto]

yeah it's rough. it will take me a while to stomach this. :'(

those 6 cornish game hens were mine! i remember when ross gave me a ride to north campus on his motorcycle... for the rest of the day on campus, chicks kept asking me which bike i had (since i was carrying around the helmet id borrowed from him).

overall, i remember ross as being one of the most morally grounded and extraordinarily good people i've ever met... just an intrinsically righteous person... perhaps too good for his own good. ross, you will be missed.

haha. that was an awesome night. those were the days man.

i think at the very least, it's nice that i only have good memories of ross. when i last saw him, he was truly happy.

i'm really sorry, victor

[vsarto]

thanks. i should have an izzie moment like that and lie on the floor for a bit. it will probably help. :/

and i shall see you soon! i shall be there for graduation...i just hoped it was under better circumstances.

[stringofpearls]

yes, lying on the floor is always the answer

it'll be good to see you, although yes, i wish it were under better circumstances. how are you getting here? let me know if you need picking up from the airport/train/bus? or anything like that

[vsarto]

thanks for the offer...but my friend will be driving from chicago so i'll be alright. i'll be there from thursday-sunday.

but, i may or may not need a couch to crash for a night...my friend who is driving has um...some female commitments for those nights, if you catch my drift. haha. all my friends moved to the detroit suburbs or are in chicago now. boo. youre the only one whom i regularly keep in touch who is in AA.

but yes, sangria at doms if the weather is nice! or perhaps some arbor brewing or ashleighs. wooo.

So sorry to hear that, Victor. :-(
