I Lost a Friend

January 11,1988 is date that's burned into my mind forever. This was the day my best friend died in an auto accident (along with his fiancé). We had been friends since childhood and we were both 20 years old...I was from April to August older than him. It's hard to believe that was 30 years ago, it doesn't seem that long. I keep two photos on display in my home...a snapshot of the two of us together when we were about 12 or 13, and his senior photo because I always want to remember him as he was.
