Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life:(

Yesterday morning my mom got one of the worst phone calls you could ever recieve. The phone call was from my friends' mom. My friends' mom told my mom that my close friend Richard had passed away over the weekend. I was both shocked and devastated when my mom got off of the phone and told me. I wasn't sure what to think, I thought I was having a very bad nightmare and that I would soon wake up from it, but no, this was real life. His passing actually happened. I think I took the news very hard, and then when I got to school it was very hard to break the news to people who hadn't heard of his passing. But my teacher knew before I got to school beacuse Richard's mom had phoned her. The things I will miss the most about Richard are his huge smile lighting up a room wherever he went, Ciarra and I spending the lunch hour with him in our Pre-Employment class, just having a good conversation with him, telling jokes and laughing about them after, hearing him talk about skateboarding, and just being around him. Richard, you will be truly missed throughout your school community and beyond. I will never ever forget you. I Miss You Buddy:(
