A very close friend of mine was found dead in his apartment recently, leaving behind his girlfriend, unborn child and 3 other children... And sadly his departure came before me and him could resolve some stupid quarrels that had driven us apart. He left before I could make things right, before I could let him know that he is still like the older brother I never had and for me to tell him I still and always had a love for him regardless of whatever drama might have come between us...

And ill never be able to tell him what I should have long ago, ill have to carry this with me till my day comes.

Its with the loss of my friend that I make this thread... As a memorial for not just him, but for all of us who have lost those close to us and would like to make right, pay respects or just show love...

We love you all... We miss you... And we hold you in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace.

Now I hate to be "That one guy," but I guess I'll get it outta the way - isn't this kind of a 'weird' place to put this?

I figured it could serve as a memorial thread to friends and loved ones... Perhaps its a little macabre but I feel they still deserve some love and recognition. If its too much and im asked ill delete the thread...

I shot my cat once.

I call complete bullshit on this one.

Also Ivory, I'm very sorry to hear about that. It really sucks to lose someone, and when you have something like guilt on top of it, it's just one ugly scene. I wish everyone the best in dealing with this loss....

Sorry to hear that,Ivory

Here's some nice music to fit the mood

Are you implying I'm a bad shot?

I used a .44 magnum. His name was Mr. Muffins.

Did he an hero?

Its not believed to be a suicide, thus far they suspect poisoning but its under investigation.

I've lost two friends. One died in a car crash, and the other was murdered. I know what you're going through.

I knew a guy in high school, his name was Michael Kennedy. Great guy, really fun, creative, artistic soul. He was schizophrenic. His father decided to stop paying for his medication and therapy, hoping Mike would just "man up" and get over it. So, one day, Mike stole his dad's illegally modified fully automatic AK-47s and attacked the local police station, convinced that the police were evil monsters and only he could stop them. He killed two police officers before being gunned down later that day.

Ivory, very sorry to hear of your loss. I wish you the best in working through the tough questions that always come when these things happen. Given what you've already survived, I know you'll do okay with a little bit of time.

Christ. Real classy guys. Moving right along.

It's an unusual place to want to spout it, Ivory, but I can understand. When we lose someone close to us a common fear is that no one will be around to care or remember.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Life will go on, and often the best thing we can do to honour those who aren't with us is to live in celebration and memory.

A friend of mine killed himself when I was still in highschool. I think it was my junior year, and he was either a freshman or a sophomore. Easily preyed on; one of those weird kids in combat boots that either nobody cared about or was actively picked on.

I used to wear a necklace back then, don't exactly remember what it was. I do know that he had liked it alot, wanted to see if he could have it once I didn't want it anymore.

I ended up giving it to his grave.

Thank you guys for not only your condolences but for memorialising those you loved and held close to you here. Im deeply sorry for all your losses but thanks to your posts this thread is doing exactly what I hoped it would do and thats bring honor to those already gone.

I also went to high school with this guy.

Yep. :|

Wow... No shit... Scary.

I've lost both my sister and dad, in separate car accidents. I was in the one with my dad, and I was only a year old at the time. The accident left a scar across my nose which I put on my fursona, even though none of you have probably seen my fursona lol. But still, I keep it as a kind of homage to him.

......

Oh, shit. Where do I start? I lost a high school friend to suicide. Seriously. One day, I woke up, and I told my mom I didn't want to go to school that day, because I was not feeling well. We were standing in the kitchen, and the phone rang. My mother picked it up and she got this horrified look on her face. She was crying, too. She hung up, and told me, "Your friend Whitney is dead." Talk about a shitty way to start the day. Uh, I lost my dog to a heart tumor. I made a thread about it on here, called losing pets. Here it is; http://e621.net/forum/show/20749. I lost both of my grandmothers, thankfully to old age. My mom's bitch of a sister died. They hadn't been in contact for YEARS, decades, actually. So yeah.
