Andrew

This past week my friend Andrew Thulin died in a horrific car accident. It was really sudden and it hit me pretty hard. He wasn't like one of my closest friends that did everything with me, but we grew up together and we shared some good memories. He was always such a nice and funny person. He has a great family. It was really surprising to hear that he was dead. I had only just seen him this past weekend at church. It was really weird. He wasnt coming back. It hit my school pretty hard too. He was a very popular loved person. He helped everyone with anything he could. He was always such a happy person and he could always make you laugh. He was a great athelete. I've been talking to his sister about him, and all of my friends that were also friends with him. I don't feel bad for andrew. He's in a good place now, and it was his time to go. I feel horrible for his Twin brother Owen, his sister Mary, his little brother Benjamin, and the little twins, along with his parents and oldest brother Byron. I feel bad for all of his friends. His family is pretty big and crazy but they are an awesome family. Everytime you saw them at church you could just tell they loved eachother. Andrews death has made me think about life more. It's made me think about how I treat people. I should be nicer to people. I've also thought how sad it is that it takes someone to die for people to really appreciate the time they spent with them. and Everything they did for other people. Deaths to me are learning experiences. You shouldn't waist your time crying about the little stupid things. Make life fun and happy. That doesnt mean go out and do whatever you want because you only live once. Im saying Just be a good person. Be nice to people who deserve it, and if they dont deserve it dont go out of your way to be mean to them just stay away from them. Andrews death has also made me think alot about after death. It's made me think about what Andrew is doing now and what he thinks about all of it? What he sees now. It's not fun when someone you know dies. but it makes you think. Think about the life you are living. if you died tomorrow what would people say about you? I'm not the perfect person and I know this. If I was the perfect person I wouldnt still be here. I know im not always nice. Its hard to be nice sometimes. some people dont deserve nice. I try to be as nice as I can to everyone of my friends. I love them and I want them to realize I love them. You live life once dont be arrogant about it just live it. Andrew lived his life. He was a good boy and grew into a GREAT young man

his mom and dad should be so proud. he was so nice to everyone and everyone loved him

he will be deeply missed.
