The price I pay

There was a guy I knew. I met him when I was 16. I didn't think much of him, but he grew on me as most friends do. As time progressed, our friendship was challenged time after time,. He never faltered. He remained true to his friends and family. The friend I refer to was hit by a car and killed last weekend.

Now for what hurts the worst. I found out today with a text msg. I am so far away from the people I consider friends that the comforting sound of a voice is lost.

"Hanson passed away sunday"

I had to make 5 phone calls to get ahold of anyone from home. After that all I learn is a friend of his (I knew the guy, but didn't like him) went to my moms house to tell her what happened, and she called my best friend. He then sent me the text msg.

All I want right now is to see my family.
 
Leehype, I'm very sorry to hear of your news.
It's never easy losing a friend at all, and something's its not easier with time, and somethings will always remind you of him, just for a split second.
But after mourning his death, try and remember the good times you had with him and the time you spent with him. I think he would of preferred that instead of you mourning his passing forever..

Good luck and be strong! :hug2:
 
I've never really lost a close friend or family member, so I can't really say I feel your pain. I do know what it means to have friends you can actually trust, though. Your family will always be there for you, the past and future.

I believe things happen for a reason, whether they're good or bad. I'm sure your friend left an impact on your life that makes you you and gives you a reason to live. At least he won't be forgotten.
 
I'm far from home too, 2,632 miles to be exact. While out to dinner one night with friends, I got a phone call from a friend back home. Our mutual friend hung himself just hours before. It's hard to comfort and be comforted with such a vast distance between you and those you love.

Phone calls don't even cut it close, but when they're all you have, they're precious. Just remember to keep your friends, as far away as they may be, as close as a phone call away.

I'm really sorry for your loss, as cliche as it sounds. Just remember that your friends are suffering too, and the best thing for all of you is just to have each others shoulders.
 
A kid was hit by a car just up the road from me the other day... he was 15 years old. Knowing that he would be going to school with my eldest nephew next year was a weird feeling. It just wakes you up really..
 
Lee I'm sorry man, that blows, on several levels. A text message? Ouch man. It's amazing how far we can get from those we care about. I hope you muddle through man, hell better than muddle through. I hope you get to talk to the people you want to. Good luck. :sad:
 
My Uncle was a flag-waver on the street where my house is located. He got run down and killed by someone because they just had to get somewhere.

The guy got away with it because he was a cop.

You just kinda reminded me of that incident and I thought it had some correlation to the topic at hand.
 
Loosing someone very close to you hurts and this is something I have known about and experienced at a very young age. Although I don't like to admit it sometimes I wish I could go back-maybe change something-say something. The reason I wouldn't do anything about it even if I could is I know that I wouldn't be who I am today.

It's alright to cry-and even if your not one to-talk to people. Do whatever you feel that will help you feel less sadness. Me-I sing, write, talk...at that makes me feel better. I hope you remain strong through this bad time.
 
I'm reallly sorry to hear about your loss. I know how much friends, good friends are important in our lives.
I know that nothing we say to you will make the pain go away, but remember and cherish every moment you had with him. As long as you remeber him he will always be there.

Hold on thight ! *hugs*
