On Christmas Eve, Cory Garabedian was involved in a car accident.
His family needs our help.
I met Cory about 11 years ago when I worked for the city handed out park lunches. I was 13 and he hounded me to borrow my CD player. Not only am I terrible at sharing (to this day), but it was pink, I couldn't understand why he
wanted to use it. I reluctantly handed it over to the strange boy on the bike and hoped I'd see my baby again. Both of them ;) You see, Cory was cute, but I had no idea who he was. He was also always a sweetheart. To top it off, he was one of the few guys I'd ever met who brought his little brother around with him. Knowing that Cory knew far too many of the same people I did, I never moved in that direction with him, but I always looked forward to his smile. I still do, to this day. So when I was at the hospital on Christmas, and his mother asked me how I knew Cory, I tried to tell her about my CD player through tears and the poor woman thought I was insane. lol My mom did too. "Why'd you say that?"my mom asked. "I don't know.. she asked how I met him. That's how I know him," I said & shrugged. (I was still wiping tear & trying to get back to normal. Shit aint real till you see it.) How do you explain to a woman in pain how you know her unconscious son? She wanted to know if my emotions were pure... I understood. But it's like explaining what water is... I can do it.. but there's only so much to say. Cory is my
friend. & everyone who can say the same is blessed.
