The Pros and Cons of Breathing

This is totally not cool. Why the hell won't people stop dying? Dylan's death was hard enough on everyone. Of all the people to go, why him? A week or so ago, Dylan's roommate, Dave's 3 year old cousin died. Then my friend Quinn told me (if i remember correctly) several of his cousin's friends were killed in a car wreck. Lee Ann's dog almost died the other day. Finally, this afternoon, after Dylans memorial service, Quinn's grandfather had a heart attack. I think he'll be ok, but still. What the hell is going on?

As far as Dylan's memorial service, everything was perfect. Several of our friends were unable to make it, but lots of people turned out to remember him. Some of our teachers and two of Dylan's old coaches gave little speeches. Quinn gave a great speech and I threw in a little extra. Everyone had so many great memories, and it was hard not to stay all afternoon sharing them. Its still pretty shitty though. I saw his car in the Mitchell's driveway when i was going to Quinn's house Friday night and for a second I was thinking, "hey, Dylans home." This is going to suck for a long time.
