Tonight I found out a good internet friend of mine passed away. After getting really worried because he hadn't talked to us for about a month, my boyfriend and I did some research and found out he passed away on January 14th. After further research, we were relieved to find out it wasn't a suicide, which was one of our suspicions. He was a great friend and had the best intentions. He was the only "adult" who would take us seriously and listen to us and just be our friend. I put adult in quotations because he was 21, but he still played videogames with us and talked to us.
I don't know why it's hitting me so hard, but I never realized how much he had meant to me until I found out about his death. I was looking forward to meeting him in person one day, but now the best I can do is visit his grave.
It was really upsetting to find out how much time had passed before we found out about his death, but it was better than wondering whether he just decided to stop talking to us or not. I just really miss him. My last conversation with him was not on the best of terms, and I guess I would give a whole lot to just have ended on a better note.Â
Rest in Peace, Poly. I'm sorry for not being a better friend to you, like you were to me. I won't forget you and all that you've done for me. Thank you.Â
