Friday morning, 12/16/2011 at 9:46am, one of my closest friends died in a horrific car accident where he wrapped his car around a tree after falling asleep at the wheel... its so surreal, hearing about it something like this happen to someone so close, especially after hearing about stuff like it all the time on the news. At first i thought it to be a cruel joke, but as I saw pictures and read various articles, it really hit me and i broke down in tears, knowing he suffered so much til the end. He was happy though, visiting as many people as he could before he started boot camp and then got shipped off to the middle east... Im still having trouble comprehending it, thinking hes ok somewhere, but deep down i know hes gone forever... Im not posting this asking for hugs or looking for attention, but to ask what thoughts others have on death, if anyone else has experienced the same, and maybe how you coped...
