When I was 9, my mom introduced me to her friends nephew who was 7. We instantly clicked and instantly started playing. He smashed notes on a keyboard while I banged on drums like we were a band. Today was his funeral. I am 19 and he is forever 17. 💔🕊️

I wish I knew him now. I got a glimpse of the man he became at the funeral service and reception and even in all his pictures I saw the 7 year old, goofy boy. His uncle said we would’ve been great friends with things in common. His grandma instantly recognized me and the first thing she said that I was his first girlfriend/crush. That broke me most today. Fly high Kai, I love you. 🕊️

Thank you, although I feel like I shouldn’t be grieving as much as I am because I barely knew him 😔

You are allowed to feel emotions. I still grieve a childhood friend that died in 2017, even though I hadn’t spoken to her in years, because while we hadn’t seen them in awhile, they were a signifiant part of our lives even for a little bit. So don’t apologize, because I’m sure he’s looking down and remembering you too 🤍
