I loved and still love this dude. He was such an amazing friend since 7th grade. I wish I could look back and have the chance to have talked to him more. It feels like a damn bullet wound in my chest. It's pathetic to see that the world can't support a guy like him. Making what seemed like a wonderfully happy kid go and shoot himself.... I'm going to miss him so much for the rest of my life. I honestly don't know what more I can say.... Wednesday is going to be long and sad.....Love you Cory
