Good luck and be strong.

Cancer is the most horrible thing in the whole universe. I feel bad for all the kids it kills. So unfair to die when you are 17.

Man, I remember the time when we argued about the katana v.s the longsword for 2 hours. He watched too much anime and thought the katana had some kind of superpowers or something.

And the time we were playing Dungeons and Dragons and he bitched for a long time because of some stupid thing that happened in-game that I don't even remember (he got hit by an arrow or something).

Or the time when after my step-dad yelled at me, told me I was a worthless piece of shit, that he would knock me out and hurt me if I was even worth it, he was the only person who could cheer me up.

similar thing happened to me, it fades with time but i like to try think of it that his future and achievements which he would have done, would have been somehow fallen on me. it motivates me when i have nothing left, forces me to be better for having met him. Means he would have made an impact on life and be remembered by me and through who i am.
probably wont check this thread but wish u the best of luck. you got to know in an easy way than me.

I went to that school with Ivan. He was a a great guy, a little weird at sometimes, but a great guy. He was not quick to judge, and was always a nice guy.
I remember he used to walk around with a handful of straws, i never really found out why haha. He will be missed by all at the San Diego Met. and are lucky to have known him. I am really sorry for your loss and i know he will be greatly missed be everyone who knew him.

Sorry for your loss. From your posts on this forum, you seem like a genuinely nice guy and a fun person, so I'm sure you were a good friend too.

You went with him to the met?

Are you going to the service? If you want to go I'll PM you the directions.

Is it an odd coincidence that you joined TL today, or were you aware of this blog somehow?

btw, the straws were a 'catalyst to his imagination'. They helped him visualize his thoughts. From 7th up to 10th grade he used pencils instead. He switched to straws near the end of 10th grade.

Yeah, That would be great.

I actually just joined today after reading your post.
I really did not get to see him much because he was in and out of the hospital.

I'm sorry for your loss. I also lost one of my best friends recently, and all I can tell you is to stay strong and to always treasure your memories of him in your heart.

His service today was the hardest thing I've ever been through.

Seeing the corpse of your best friend, bloated and grey is not an eperience I recommend. But the catharsis was worth it.

I hadn't cried in 8 years, but I couldn't stop sobbing.

;_;, now I guess I can move on...
RIP Aaliyah
