keeping a secret

Allison

I cried for two weeks straight. The doctor said I had depression. I loved Tyler so much. he was my best friend. I now have no one to turn to.

mr. and mrs. O'Connor planned tyler's funeral. it was two weeks after his death. his family was torn.

his parents said he talked a lot about me when he was in the hospital. They said I should write a eulogy for the funeral.

everyone was in black. it was the saddest day of my life. when it was time for my eulogy this is what I said:

"hello, I am Allison. I was Tyler's best friend. I visited him every single day in the hospital. He was extraordinary. We will have gotten severely bullied, and we both helped each other through it. we always had so much fun together. he said to me, right before he died, that he had been suffering is whole life from bullying. I was so upset for two whole weeks. I had nothing to do. The whole time I was upset but I should've been thinking about how he is right now. He won't have to be dealing with everyone calling him names and hurting him anymore. We can now rest, but still remember, I know that he is in a better place right now. He's probably up there looking down at us and telling us not to be sad. We will all miss him for a very long time maybe even forever. But we will never forget him. I will always love him because he listen to me when I was sad, when he watched stupid things with me, when we would both go out to lunch together, but mostly I will miss him because he was the best friend I could ever ever ask for. when I was back in the hospital, I looked back at him. He looked so peaceful. you couldn't see the pain in his eyes anymore. he wouldn't have just fake smile anymore. and most of all he wouldn't have to be bullied anymore. he's up in heaven now Jesus and God and all of his close relatives that he had lost. I can't wait for the day when we will be reunited. and I will always love him no matter what."

I tried hard to fight back the tears so people could understand what I'm saying. But it was too hard. When you love someone so much and they pass away, you can't not miss them. you feel like they are a part of you. that's how I felt with Tyler.
