Prologue
There are a lot of sayings on friendships. I once read one that made me smile a bit. It was on some kid’s t-shirt at an amusement park I was visiting with my brother. It read:
“Best Friends:
“You laugh, I laugh.
“You cry, I cry,
“You jump off a bridge, I jump in a boat to go haul your stupid butt out of the water.”
It was silly, juvenile, and slightly stupid. But it still made me smile.
That night my brother jumped off the bridge, I wasn’t smiling. I didn’t laugh. And I didn’t have a chance to haul him out of the water; we never found his body.
Silence is the only word I can use to describe that night. The silence of wordless horror, the silence of dismay, the silence of the sun that slowly crept into the sky, moving the day along as my world came to a complete stop.
Silence. You think you’ve experienced it until one day it really strikes you. And then you can never go back.
