hey cory. so a year ago we said our goodbyes. i didnt know it would be forever. i cant believe its been a year. wish i could have that night back and give you a huge hug. youre in my thoughts today. youre in my thoughts often. so are you still heading to europe for the world cup? ill be looking out for you...

Hey Cory...just thinking about you a lot today and wanted to say hi! I miss you terribly and someday will see you again! Go show 'em how it's done up there in heaven #13!!! GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! Miss you!

I come here every day, but I just can't find the words yet... I keep thinking of the night you drove down to take me out to dinner shortly after I graduated because you were concerned about me and how you'd said learning to accept loss was one of the hardests task I'd face in lie. You promised me acceptance would ease my pain in time. You told me a refusal to accept only condemned me to mourning and that if I ever wanted to feel liberated from grief, I had to embrace it, accept it, cherish it, and move forward... "Not on," you clarified. "You're not supposed to move on, but you are meant to move forward." I'm trying to remember this now. I miss you and I love you with all that I am...

Cory, Ive been thinking about you all day and I just wanted to say hi and that I miss you and love you so much!

I have come here everyday. Three, four, five, six times a day. I can never get it out. But today all I can think is 3 months. So many emotions swim around that little number 3. It's all I can think of. I still haven't written anything real. I just can't get the truths out yet. I love you.

Cory! Our San Marcos yeam got DESTROYED last night. It was no fun at all. We definitley missed you out there. I know you would've helped me out in back. Instead, it was a turkey shoot. Its not the same without you friend. The Escondido team is doing well and we will do our best to get back to the finals...for you.

I've been thinking about Cory a lot lately, among other more painful things. I miss him. I wish that I could have wispered one little piece of truth to him before he left, something about where he was and where the rest of us would be once he'd gone. I work in his Starbucks and it's so strange to think that he hasn't been there for four months now. New people have come along, people who Cory would have known if only things had been different. But we're all denied his presence. I wish so badly that he could have heard what his family and friends have said about him since his death, especially that amazing letter that Christian wrote and read with unabashed tears running down his face at the memorial. I still can't get it out of my mind, it was so replete with love and pain. But I guess that none of us can really know just how we are thought of or how we will be missed when we are gone. Cory, i hope that you now exist in some astounding state of peace and joy. We miss you.

hi cory.. i've been thinking about what to say here for some time now... i know our last conversation wasn't the best. i kick myself constantly for not being able to clear things up before it was too late. i know we had our differences but you were always a good friend, with an amazing heart. I miss you cory.. i cried so much when i found out you left us. i heard the service was beautiful. i really wish i could have made it. i have so many memories of you... your presence will never be forgotten. take care of yourself cory.. And look after everyone for us, okay? <3

I think about you all the time... There has already been so many times where I find myself getting excited to tell you something, because I know that you would have gotten excited with me. I miss you more than I can even say.
