See you soon A...

Childhood friends, they are the ones who you grew up with and gone through ups and downs together. You knew each other since diaper days. They know you like the back of their hand and vice versa. They've seen you during your best and worst, you guys have done things that are pretty stupid and have done things that you are very proud of. You both like a certain kind of food and would kill each other if one is being unfair in sharing. You would have fights and misunderstandings but if one is in trouble the other one is ready to help. If one is having a hard time with school, the other would help him/her with their homeworks and projects. Aren't childhood friends awesome? Well, I lost my childhood friend last year May 11, 2014. He has been my best friend ever since I was born, we are 6 months apart. I miss him so much, I didn't even get to say goodbye to him or see him one last time before he passed away.  He has been a big part of my life, we lost contact for a couple of years and I regret not being able to reconnect before he died. It was very sudden I woke up and went downstairs to eat breakfast, I didn't even get to the last step of the stairs when my brother said "Hey, you're close with A right?" and I replied "Yeah, why?" and he said "Well, he's dead". And what he said felt so unrealistic that I didn't even get to react, I just sat down and my mind processed what my brother just said after a while I just did what I usually do. I was in denial and I knew it but I can't help it, after a couple of hours when my mom found out I sat on her bed and cried. We went to his wake that night and I cried my eyes out, I couldn't believe that he was dead. The memories we had kept replaying through my mind and I couldn't help but cry. After a couple of days, it was his burial. It went fast, I said my goodbye and last words to him and he was buried 6 feet under. It was hard for me since a couple months ago my grandparents died too. But like what people say "life goes on, it doesn't wait for anybody". It still hurts from time to time, I miss them but I'll see them again when the time is right.
