OOc: I hope this is ok to put here It's just my way of remebering him of trying to let him go. If it's not wanted here just delete...


Here I am the second day one day removed from what I was told and I still can't believe any of it's true. A nightmare that's what I want it to be. I want to wake up and say it was all just a bad dream. Because Chad I don't know how to let you go. I don't know how to say good-bye to you. I don't want to. As I hugged my family yesterday I wanted to scream, to tell them that it wasn't true. A joke, one of the many you always used to play.

But it wasn't...

So many memories of us we had our whole childhood together and now they are just memories that I can't call you with. I can't say to you anymore, remember when we did this or that. I want that back Chad, I want you back. I think back and all I see is you and I and our other cousins together. You were such a huge part of my life. Now there is just a big hole there and no matter how many memories I put in it its always just a big hole. I can never replace what I have lost, memories can never replace you Chad. And we sat there remembering all the funny things you used to do but the laughter was hollow and the smiles weren't the same because we don't want to remember without you. Now when I look back it will always be tainted because I wont hear you laughing with me.


When I first heard, I began to remember I kept trying to remember your laugh. I always loved the way you laughed. But I couldn't. I could bring up your face for every age, I could hear you talking. I could remember how you made your voice high pitched when you called me and said Hi mama, but I just couldn't hear your laugh and it made me so angry, I wanted to call you and tell you to laugh for me one last time but I couldn't. It took me awhile and I realized had I remembered it right then it would have killed me. I can hear it now though and it to is not the same. I want to hear you laugh for me one more time.

I never wanted to lose you Chad and I never thought I would have to see you put in a cold place. How do I say good-bye to my best friend, how do I let go of such a huge piece of my heart? You never wanted to be alone and now I have to put you in such a lonely place. And I keep begging, I keep praying that this is all just some bad dream an awful joke, but I know it's not because I never cry this much in dreams. I miss you Chad. I remember the song we always sang together, seasons in the sun and I will play it for you one last time and I will sing it to you one last time but God help me I don't want to. I miss you Chad and I love you, I know you thought I was angry at you for all the drinking you did but Chad I was just afraid. and now I know why I was so afraid of what you were doing to your body. I would give anything to go back and stop this process but there's no way to is there. I love you Chad I always have and I always will. I will remember each moment we had my smile won't be as big as it used to be when I remember it with you. Instead of laughter there will be tears but I will remember Chad, each and every moment and you will be missed....


I love you but I can't say good-bye to you right now...

I am so sorry, luv.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. The way I try to look at these things is, that it isn't a loss as such because I believe your cousin will always be with you, just like in the past.

Be strong and take care.

(Hugs)

I'm praying for you and your family. I can't express in words anything that I feel right now, because of the danger of sounding trite or cliché, so I won't try. :(

All I can really say is that your in my prayers. I dont have words of comfort, because I just dont know what to say.

My wish is for God be you and your family and may He give you strength in this time.

**SIGH**

Although...I wish I could offer you words of comfort. I know this has to be tough on you. I've lost 2 cousins (one hit by a drunk and one was killed on a motorcycle with her boyfriend) by a car). There never seems like there are comforting words to take away the pain.

All I can say is I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Please take care Maia. :(

I don't know you and I don't know exactly how you're feeling but you have my deepest apologies. Losing a loved one is a terrible feeling, especially one so close. When my parents died, I didn't believe that I would ever be happy again, that anything could ever fill that void. In a way, nothing will, but eventually, breathing won't be so hard, and once in a while, you'll feel truly happy. I know this doesn't stop the pain, or change the fact that your cousin is gone but I just wanted to let you know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, as terrible and impossible as that sounds. Mine and Kebs prayers are with you. Take care.

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you. This was the hardest thing I have ever had to do because it was all so senseless to me loosing him when he was so young. What you all said means a lot to me and I appreciate it more than I can say. I will be back soon guys just cant do it right now. Been on just reading stuff and that helps some. Hugs you guys I don't know some of you but your words of comfort helped a lot :)

*huggles Maia and her birdies* :D

Take your time, girl....no need to rush it. I learned that when I lost my friend earlier this year. It isn't the best to jump right back onto the boards. We'll always be here..... :)
