Not to long ago i went to school with this boy, his name was Bryan Adams, he played for the Garry Middle School baseball team, he had excellent grades, knew how to play 5 different instruments including Violin, Viola, Piano, and many more, he had many dreams of becoming, a laywer, an artist, a actor. Then just days after he had pitched an excellent game of middle school baseball and won the game for his team, he had won many awards, including the Presidents Award of Acedemic Excellents, and in the next year would come back to Garry to be an 8th grader. But then the unexpected happened. Bryan was skating near the Spokane River on roller baldes with one of his many friends, when the heat became overbarring and he decided along with his friend to go take a quick swim in the river. So Bryan and his friend went down an enbankment and took off their skates and got in. The current was strong as it pulled them a little farther out when they decided to try to get out of the water Bryan's friend made it out fine and Bryan was just about to make it to shore when he slipped backwards in to a ongoing current and possibly was knocked out, his friend chased him down the side of the river after his floating body, when after almost 150 yards Bryan went under and was no longer visible. The friend ran up to the near by bridge and was screaming for help to the people there, and in all sadness the people laughed at the boy and didn't believe him. So the friend put on his skates and raced home as fast as he could. His home almost 2 miles away. Bryan was found by the Spokane Diving Team and Emergency Helicopter and taken to the nearest ambulaence and was taken to the hospital, but Bryan was pronounced dead. This was a great friend of mine who believed in never giving up, and i believe he fought, but maybe god was ready for this boy, and wanted him to come home. It has been days since this happened and i still feel for this incedent, so enjoy life while you can young ones, it can be over so quick. Please respond and share with me any greifs, maybe we can help each other. Rainin Kopaka Nuva ... remember this is also for important friends you have found.
