It has been that long since my friend, Bryan Morgan, died from his head injuries he acquired in a car accident. It was raining (like it is today), and was early morning. The accident happened the 21st of December and he passed away from his injuries a few days later: Christmas Morning. It was a drunk driving accident. He was actually wearing his seat belt. He was the only one in the car that didn't walk away. He was only a junior in high school.
I still remember the feeling I had when I was told. I didn't believe it. Oh, how I hope to see him again one day. He was fairly new in my high school, so not many people knew him. I was on Yearbook staff and did the memorial page for him. I didn't have the nerve to call his parents to ask for pictures because I would be a sobbing mess. My advisor acted like because he wasn't captain of the football team or someone of great importance, that he was meaningless. Needless to say that I was furious with her.
Bryan will never graduate form high school. He won't see the acceptance letter from his dream college. He won't have children. He won't grow old with his wife. He won't go to his senior prom. He won't watch his children be born. He won't have to write one more paper for school or take one more exam.
He won't be able to live the life he was meant to live: A happy, long life.
But he will be remembered. I will remember him.
