He was my best friend.
RIP COREY COOMER { JANUARY 21, 1987 - DECEMBER 3, 2011 }
I have a million and one stories about him…. Like the time he came after me for dumping ice down is shorts at a drum and bugle corps practice.
We both helped each other through the bad times and had loads of laughs along the way. He was one of those very rare people that could just light up a room the second he walked in and I rarely ever saw him without his grin. He had the best sense of humor and loved to make everyone laugh.
Since I moved away, he and I would go long periods of time without seeing each other. Then when we would finally reconnect we would run to each other and he would pick me up and give me the biggest bear hug.
He was definitely a guy that loved every second of his life and he lived every day to the fullest.
He left behind so many people that love him dearly including his one year old little girl. And although he has passed, he will never be forgotten, he will always have a home in my heart (I reserved the spot with the big house and some land in it just for you bud) he will always be loved and thought of every day.
Now all I have left are over 10 years worth of memories and photographs.
“A thousand tears or more these eyes have cried and a thousand more lay in wait -I am bathed with them and yet my heart is still broken, and all that is within me aches with the loss of you, the wanting of you.
There is never a time for this that is right-never a way that can prepare the heart for this reft -you have passed through my arms too soon, like sand flowing through fingers I could not hold you here, though I would try.
I know that your spirit flies free and in the quiet depths of my heart, I can see you still in the rhythm of the waves upon the shore in the crisp winter air that fills my chest, in the iridescent gleam of each dragonfly skimming the surface between heaven and earth.”
