   Man i love this kid.
Dear Peter,


My parents took me to the cabin today, but it wasn't the same. I sat on the edge of the dock and peered out onto the slow ripple of the green water infront me. No, it just wasn't the same. The place was just different without you. I had been coming to the same cabin at the same lake since i was four years old, and I had only brought you there once. But somehow, that day you changed everything. The sky was just that much bluer. The air smelled fresh and clean, and i distinctly remember how the water seemed to gleam like diamonds. But now you were gone. And now the lake was reduced to just a gigantic mucky pond.

I hung my feet over the edge of the well worn wood of the dock and sighed. I remembered how you worked so hard doing a shake out of your canoe while i tried to warm myself on the floating dock. I remember screaming when i jumped into the water and how cold he engulfing form felt against my submerging body. I tried so hard not to stare when you took your shirt off. You tried to teach me how to canoe, but i was awful at it. But you smiled and laughed at my awkward achievement anyhow. And I remember how you looked at me. Your eyes locked with mine, and you smiled, as if we both had an understanding of this magical escape of life. It was our day, our moment.

Hot tears welled up in my eyes. My fingers twisted and clenched the nearest rock I could find and with all my might I threw it as far as i could. I watched the rock plunge into the water and disappear. Soon the ripples, the rocks only evidence of it's watery departure eventually faded away. The tears in my eyes started to fall quickly. I sat on the dock and cried and cried. You were gone. You were gone forever! Just like that stupid rock! All i got was one day with you, life was so unfair! I tried to wipe the tears from my eyes but they just kept coming. I got up and briskly walked up the stairs, past the cabin up the hill. I decided to spend the rest of the day in the car.
