Devon was a normal kid. He lived in Utah.He was the best on his high school basketball team.He was my cousin. I live in California so i only got to see him once a year. Every once in a while his family would suprise us and come down for a couple ofl weeks. My famliy and I were always happy to get to spend some time with them. One night my dad got a call fro my gandma she sounded really upset. She wouldn't tell me what was wronge. When my dad got home he told . within five minutes my whole famliy was up there to everyone was crying. i asked what was wronge and my dad told me Devon got hurt really bad. I asked if he was okay and my dad told me he had killed himself. I then to started to cry. My dad told everyone to pack our bags, within Five minutes we were on our way to Utah. Wheen we got there it felt very weird without Devon. I gave all my cousins a huge and said sorry.We all criend for a couple of hours.Two or three days after that ws the funeral. His basketball couch spoke and said that Devon had gotted all county and that he had a great chace of getting picked to play in the NBA. He also said Devon was the only one on the team that always seemed happy. After he spoke his team sang a beutiful song. then my uncle was suppose to talk but he just thanked everyone and sat down. Everyone left. we went home a coupple days latter. no one nows still why he did what he did. but we all try to think that he is happy now and we will see him agen some day.

I want to encourage people to not try to kill themselvs. you don't no how much it hurts family and friends.
