Ten-year-old commits suicideOn the fourteenth day of October 2008 of my life, I was a frustrated man. I woke up to heartbreaking news about the loss of my best friend and confidant at the age of fifteen. At first, this was not a feasible incident; there was no way I was going to accept this level of collateral damage from losing the only thing I knew for the last decade of my life. Later I realized that this was an event over which I had no control and as such there was no way for me to reverse the situation. Her denial saddened me at the time and it pained me that I hadn't been there for her as a friend when she needed me most, or at least realized that There was something wrong with her lately. Since her passing, my life has taken a positive turn trying to understand what event led to such decisions she made. Sarah was a year older than me and we shared everything the same. She became a person who saw everything and anything before I even saw it coming. That's why I accepted his opinions and suggestions. She was my angel, always there for me. Speaking to him was a prayer to God; free from judgment, supportive, loving and reassuring were characters who put her in the spotlight, shining to the brim. I remembered how we spent every moment of our childhood together. When there was a storm, we would huddle under the bed, always cheering for the storm to come. At happy hour we found joy riding our identical bikes five blocks and playing hide and seek in my dad's garage, those memories are so hard to erase from my mind. When they burn my brain, it hurts me to know that I will never live to see those moments again. (2) Sarah ...... middle of paper ...... a vision of how I perceived her death. In the note, she explains that she committed suicide for the sake of her family. She hoped that by killing herself, her family would reunite and Dad would stop the fighting. Additionally, the community will learn from this and know that even though such events occur assuming that children are not aware of what happened, they are fully aware of everything. To keep her alive in my heart, I decided to carry on her legacy by talking to many people. I was able to create a small club that reaches out to many families and encourages them to embrace peace. I will get sponsorship for a guidance and counseling club for the school; specifically adopted in memory of Sarah. Indeed, I will live to create a room for my best friend and mentor in my heart until I depart from this earth. In my prayers I will ask for his mercy.
