In Loving Memory

Have you ever had that one person in your life that can always make everyone laugh or smile? Or someone that is just a kind caring person that cares more about others than even his own self? And have you ever blamed yourself for something that you think that you could have changed even though in realistic thinking you couldn't have? Well I have experienced all of these things by the end of my sophomore year in high school. His name was Brett Anderson and he just had a way of going about himself that made everyone around him happier and better off. One the night of February 6th Brett had text me to go to the movies and I did not have my phone at the time. So by the time I had gotten his message he had already left for the movies with another group of people. The next morning I received the stunning call that he had gotten into a horrible car accident and wasn't going to make it. Immediately I thought if I had been driving that he would have been okay and that never would have happened. The world lost a wonderful young man that day and even though he is at a better place still to this day I partcially blame myself for not being there for him. Realistically speaking me driving probably wouldn't have even mattered but it would have made me feel better if I would have had the chance to control the outcome rather than someone else. I hope that everyone realizes how fragile life is and just like that it can be taken away from you. We all miss you Brett and this is written in your loving memory.
