I Have Experienced Loss

Almost a year ago I lost a good friend of mine. We were both 17 at the time and would always hang out (go to the movies, out to dinner, and we happened to work together too which is how we met in the first place.) The first time I met him, I immediately knew we would be great friends because we had the same sense of humor, and got along really well. We started hanging out outside of work, which is when I actually developed a crush on him. The last time we hung out we went to the movies, got dinner, and talked about hanging out again soon before things got crazy with graduation and college. I never knew that a week later he would be gone. Although I knew him for a short amount of time he made me appreciate life and made me realize that really anything can happen so you should live your life to the fullest. I miss him so much.
