Everything changed when we were 16.
Our parents threw us an amazing celebration, but in the middle of it, we sneaked away.
We came to a park, and Rocky skated on a ramp there.
A crowd had gathered around him, and he performed crazy tricks.
I always had a deep connection with Rocky, and in that moment, I suddenly felt something terrible was about to happen.
Rocky, no! But it was too late.
Time
seemed to slow down.
I saw my brother soar into the air, performing a complex trick.
But then he crashed down.
It felt like that day split my life into before and after, and also drove a wedge between my parents and me.
They mourned Rocky's death together, but I felt completely alone.
It was as if someone had ripped half my heart out.
Suddenly, everything lost its meaning.
Without Rocky, my world went dark.
Because of the stress, I barely ate and lost a lot of weight.
Every morning, I looked in the mirror and barely recognized myself.
But I didn't really care.
I can't stay in this house anymore.
Everything here reminds me of our boy.
We'll move to a new neighborhood.
We'll start over.
The move didn't change much, but it did make things a little easier.
