I learned that my best friend Brian Moody died Saturday... He hadn't said much.. I just thought he was busy with school..
He was a dwarf and had hard beginnings. His parents took him through several surgeries of bone grafts to try to increase his height but they didn't work. He was agressive, and when he was younger me and him fought like cats and dogs.
I didn't meet him for a while afterwards... probably 8-10 years... But our paths crossed again.. and we became best friends just last year...
He was happy because he had finally gotten his drivers liscense, and was finishing up school and getting ready for college (his surgeries put him behind everyone else in his education).
He had a girlfriend he was engaged to. They had a huge fight and she went suicidal on him... Just a month ago he came to tell me that after all that hard work and rehabilitation she was well again, and he loved her more than ever...
But then this past Saturday he was in a Ford Focus with 3 others doing about 50. Somehow (Im not sure on all the details yet) the car swerved into the next lane and hit a Cadillac Escalade head on.... The focus exploded, all 4 people died... The bodies were unrecognizable and had to be sent for autopsies and identification.
His funeral will be this Thursday...
Its gonna be hard going to church now and not seeing him there waving hello, cracking a few jokes at me before we headed inside for the sermon..
Thank you for your time guys, it just felt better to say it someone...
