Cody Cartlidge Tribute

You were the handsome boy in the front of Mr. Howie's English class in 10th grade. I was the quiet girl sitting in the back of the class. Luckily he had the chairs set up on either side of the room so the desks were facing each other, so I got to see you everyday. I had such a crush on you but never had the confidence to admit it. One day Mr. Howie gave us an assignment to write a small paper that would be graded by another random student in the class, which I was horrified about because I was so shy and didn't really want anyone to know about me. You got my paper. You wrote your review.. and it was nothing but considerate, unbiased and kind. It made me smile. That was almost 10 years ago.. and I still have that paper with your comments on it. It meant a lot to me back then, and it means so much to me now. Years later you were my customer at work. Which I was thrilled about because at that time I had finally broken out of my shell and was more than happy to laugh with you and sell you guitar strings. (And at discounted prices if I could!) I was always excited to see you. I guess that little crush never really went away. I wish I got to speak with you one more time. I wish I had one more chance to talk to you. We were never all that close, but I miss you, I miss your eyes, I miss your smile. You will always be on my mind and in my heart.

I just was thinking about you and i miss you wish you were here for christmas but were all be tehre with you and Shane tomorrow. i wish you were still here. i miss talking to you about school and life and just ill never for get the time we were at the mall and you never noticed the talking trash can man that was a funny time haha its weird with you not around.. i see jesse sometimes he played joe in hockey that was funny just wish you were here to see everything that is going good and everyone misses you..
