Remembering Blaze

Good evening reader the story that you're about to read it's a story about two people who met on an app where you can meet, chat and live stream as well. A year and half ago I met this wonderful person on an app called Meet Me on January of 2019. Throughout, the years that I've had an account I've noticed a-lot of changes such as new people joining the online community and adding new features. Such as, battling other streamers and getting to do your own live stream. One day I was on the app scrolling to see who I can chat with and then one night I ran across Blaze's live and at the time Blaze and I used to be close friends. We'd FaceTime on snapchat every other day and we'd text 24/7, 7 days a week. The moment that I saw him I was shocked at first knowing that I’d get to see my best friend again after a year and a half of lost communication. At first, I was scared to join his live however, I was optimistic and determined to get my best friend back. The moment that I joined in his live I noticed that he stopped his music in the background, grabbed his phone and yelled “best frannn.” Now I’m aware of the way that I spelt best friend, but this is the way that Blaze, and I had our special connection with one another. Not only am I grateful that I had a friend like him in my life but there was a side of Blaze, that I’d never thought that I would ever witness and that was his fear of dying. One night I got a call from him saying that he had a nightmare of dying at a young age. Though, the kid was only 19 I didn’t know that he’d ever think of those times. With Blaze I’d always saw him as one of the happiest guys that I’d ever known. As the days flew by, I noticed that something wasn’t right with Blaze as I was trying to call him over and over. One day I was live streaming on Meet Me when my phone started to blow up and that’s when I noticed that I wanted to find out what happened on Snapchat. Not only was I trying to find out what was the whole commotion was about, but it was about Blaze. I opened up the snapchat story and I found out through social media that he passed away the day after New Year’s Eve of 2019. When I found out about the news I was devastated. I started to cry and cry while the camera was rolling, and I didn’t know what to say during that time. Everyone at that time felt my pain and knew how Blaze was an important part of my life. As the days of January went by it was one of the hardest months for me only because, I lost my best friend however, Blaze taught me a lot about myself and I’ll never forget about him. One of the most important lessons that my best friend taught me was to never lose sight of where I plan to go in life. Though, he and I lost contact for a year and half we enjoyed our final moments together for a reason. That reason was to catch up on the days where we both needed each other at two different parts of our lives. Now that my best friend is in a better place, I know that he’s always going to be looking out for me. Sometimes at night whenever I’m laying down, I always daydream of the good old days and talks that my best friend and I have had and about our old travel plans. This year of 2020, I was planning to go and see and meet each other face to face. Sadly, I wasn’t able to fulfill that dream however, he wanted me to always finish school and to continue on with my life. I know that I’ve had people come and go in my life for the longest time however, meeting Blaze our roots tangled with one another because of our deepest friendship with each other. Without this guy I wouldn’t be able to live the life that I’m living now, and I’m honored to have a guy like him in my life. With everything going on right now and if I’m ever feeling sad or alone, I can always pray to Blaze and it’ll help me get through the day no matter what. Even though, times like these are tough without my best friend by my side I know that he’s up there in heaven watching me from the clouds above. I didn’t want my best friend to keep suffering no matter what. I always told Blaze “no matter where we are in life, I don’t want you to forget about me and he said, “I promise.” Having that special someone in your life can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Though, it’s been 2 years since my best friends’ death there isn’t a time or moment where I don’t think about him. I always think more towards the good times that best friend and I have created. Not only is considered my guardian angel but he’s also my lifesaver where I can’t imagine my life without him. I can only imagine it now these days where he’s always going to be in it. From this day forward Blaze and I have developed a beautiful friendship where though, he and I have always been close and going through our own battles in life. We’d always have one another regardless of where we land in life. To the reader most importantly I wanted to say a huge thank you for reading my story about my best friend. Not only was I honored to share this story I wanted people to hear my side of the story of how Blaze played an important role in my life.
