I just barely found out by random clicking and reading on Facebook that one of my friends died 5 days ago... We weren't close and we never really talked but I know and love that whole group of kids he was in. They were the group I had tried to get into senior year of high school but only managed to get my leg in the door. You know, those kids that were always laughing and doing something crazy and just looked like they were the best friends that anyone could ever have. I got to know and love almost all of them..
We all went to sushi together just this summer for Connor's birthday... I remember Connor screaming Scott's name as he drove up. He was always such a good friend to everyone. Especially Connor. I wish I had known him better.. I always wished that. He was such a great kid.. And now I'm crying in the middle of a group of studying kids.
I don't even know how it happened. No one said in all of the Facebook stalking that I did. They all just said really really awesome things about him that made me cry even more. I don't want to ask anyone.. and maybe I don't want to know. But I just hope he's doing better now and God can help him help all of the awesome friends he left behind.
Rest in peace Scott Neel.
