I was driving home yesterday when a friend of mine sent me a message on Facebook that said "Call me ASAP". In the back of my mind i thought to myself something must have happened to my best friend but figured it was something trivial. When i called him he was very quiet at first and then began to tell me that my best friend had just killed himself. This was the person who helped me become the man i am today, he was my brother the person who i hung out with every day before i joined the Army he was actually the person who talked me into the joining which has been the best thing in my life. I owed everything to him and every time i went home on leave i spent the whole time hanging out with him catching up on whats been going on drinking and talking about girls, our lives, and out future. He was the person who could talk me into doing the stupidest things in the world, the reason for my first concussion, my first over night stay in a hospital, my first vice, and so much more. Iv never lost someone close to me much less my best friend a person that I made the best memories of my life with. Iv never cried like this before and i don't even know what to do. I tried to call his dad today and couldn't stop crying after dialing the number long enough to connect the call. Sorry for rambling and what not just needed to write out some of the things.
