This beautiful, talented boy took his life due to bullying because of his sexuality and because he was a figure skater. 
Bullying needs to end.
Rest in peace ,

18 years had come and gone 
For momma they flew by 
But for me they drug on and on
We were loading up that Chevy 
Both tryin’ not to cry 
Momma kept on talking 
Putting off good-bye 
Then she took my hand and said 
“Baby don’t forget:

Before you hit the highway 
You better stop for gas 
And there’s a 50 in the ashtray 
In case you run short on cash 
Here’s a map and here’s a Bible 
If you ever lose your way 

Just one more thing before you leave 
Don’t forget to remember me”

This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home 
and those bills there on the counter 
Keep telling me I’m on my own 
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night 
And even when it’s not, I tell her everything’s all right 
Before we hung up I said 
“Hey momma, don’t forget:

to tell my baby sister I’ll see her in the fall 
And tell me-maw that I miss her 
Yeah, I should give her a call 
And make sure you tell Daddy that I’m still his little girl 
Yeah I still feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be 
Don’t forget to remember me”

Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray 
I haven’t done this in a while 
So I don’t know what to say but 
Lord, I feel so small sometimes in this big ol’ place 
Yeah, I know theres more important things, but 
Don’t forget to remember me 

Don’t forget to remember me .

<3
- PLEASE. don’t forget me.
i love you . 

In about 18 days my sister is moving away to University, pretty far away from me. We only started becoming closer over the past year or so and now that i feel we’ve finally started understanding each other and supporting each other, she has to leave. Now i know it’s not by choice, i know she had many other plans with her life but I guess some things just don’t work out. I guess that’s why it’s best to not expect anything, and just let what will happen, happen. 

My sister is a very special person. She is smart, funny, beautiful, and successful. I know she can do anything that she puts her mind to. She is driven, motivated, determined, and ambitious. She is the person I look up to and cherish most. I have no clue what I’m going to do without her, because I go to her for everything. I know how scared she is, and I know that she shouldn’t be, because I know how strong she is. I know that she can make it through anything she really wants to. It scares me that she will be so far away from home and have to be very independent. Though, if she knows it or not, she always was. She’s been through so much, and I don’t think I know anyone stronger than her. I know she thinks that we will all forget about her, we as in her family, her friends, and the people that means the most to her, but i know not one single person will forget about her because she is really unforgettable. I know that she will be so upset, kinda leaving the past behind her and starting a new life. But her future is so bright, i even know that. 
I’m going to miss her more than i missed anyone or anything in my entire life. I’m always going to be here for her, I hope she knows that if she ever feels lonely, or stressed out, or like she can’t doing something, that I am here for her to convince her otherwise. She is one of the most important people in my life, and she always will be. I feared that she will forget me, and our relationship would slowly fade. But i am going to try to make that absolutely impossible by visiting her every opportunity i get. Though, I can’t drive yet, when i get my license, I will have every single street memorized on how to get there. My biggest fear is that when she comes home, she will be different like everything has changed. Like she will become more of an adult, and less of a fun-loving, crazy, reckless, sister. I’m afraid that it will change her, I suppose for the better, yet still, I’m afraid like she won’t act like my sister anymore. She will be more mature and responsible, and like all my other relatives like my cousins, who once played in the mud, had snowball fights, and ran around, careless and free, she’ll grow up and will grow out of that. I know eventually everyone has to grow up and move on. But sometimes I just wish everything could stay the exact same. I mean, how will it feel when she’s gone? Coming home to tell her important news, only to remember she’s not there? Breaking down and needing her, because she is my best friend, to find that I can’t even cry in her arms anymore? sure, I have my little brother, who would never understand anything about girls, and same with my dad. My mom is always there for me too, but Brandy just knows me inside and out. How will it be at the dinner table with only 4 chairs occupied? Having to stare across the table at the empty seat knowing that I don’t know where she is or what she’s doing. Maybe she’s not even thinking about me. Maybe she will be studying, or shopping, or out with friends. I know it sounds crazy, but i’m going to miss everything so much, maybe it’s because I hold things very close to me and never want to let them go, or maybe it’s because I feel jipped of time from her, because before this year, we just used to fight all the time. Maybe she will come home and be the exact same, hopefully. 
I can’t ever forget all the nights I sat on her bedroom steps pouring out my life stories and secrets to her, and her doing the same. I can’t forget whenever she was late picking me up and saw how mad i was, that silly face she always made with her tongue sticking out that made me laugh and she knew i had to forgive her after that. Or when we used to play rock-band until 4 in the morning because we would always get 99% on that one damn song, and we’d eat ice cream to keep us awake, until 4 am. I’ll even miss ganging up on Mikey, when we would both sit on him to squish him:). Or when we would drive around at night and stop to get chocolate, we always got the kind i wanted. Also, when we went to the WCAR & SFS concert with Greer&Rooth, and i pulled you up on the stage so you could crowd surf, and on the last song, I jumped up and did! One of the best memories I will ever have! Also, all those late night stops at Timmies to let out our problems over french vanilla’s or mocha’s and obviously boston creams& cinnamon buns ! The night when I came home from Quebec and we stayed at Timmies for like 3 hours and only got home around 4, and you had to pee so bad that you stopped at a stop sign! lmfao. When we were little, i hope you remember we would jump in the pool when Dad was cutting the lawn and chase the lawn mower, getting covered in grass pretending we were monsters. And remember singing the marine land commercials together, it’s basically our theme song. I will never forget all the lipsynches that we did together, especially Tarzan and Jane!
You are my more than my sister, you are my best friend. Only you truly understand me. I never realized how much alike we are until this year, I always thought we were completely different. But I’m soo glad that i am just like you. I hope that one day i can follow your footsteps. 
I appreciate how you always let me hangout with you and your friends and let me stay with you a lot of the time. I can’t believe you’re leaving soon. I really don’t know how to react, but then again, i still don’t believe it. Probably because I’ve been denying that all those boxes of your stuff is actually leaving. I want you to know that whenever you need me, I am ALWAYS here for you, no matter if you make a mistake, if you get your heartbroken, if you don’t think you can handle it anymore, I’m always here to hold you when you cry, to support you through every choice, and to be more than your sister, but also your best friend, holding your hand through everything. I might not always know what you’re talking about, I might not always say the right things, and I might not always be that helpful, but i will always be here. 
The one thing that always scared me, probably because it’s always so unknown, one thing I’m petrified will take you away from me, and one thing I never want to do myself, is change. Difference. But I guess that’s all just a part of it, something that must happen, as long as you’re not alone, yet it also helped me understand you more, it brought us so much closer, thinking of those things then maybe I’ll realize how good it can be, that there can be amazing things about Growing Up.
