I know those who look at this will say "He died over 5 months ago, why are you posting this now"....Here is the story.....
You know when you were like 12 years old and you would go onto random chat rooms and meet people. I met Zach on one of those chat rooms. He was one of those kids that you knew from talking to him there was something really special about him. I never met Zach but we always talked about meeting. He had alot going on in his life, his mom died and he just always felt so alone. The one thing that kept me goin on so many years was his love for EMT. Even at the age of 12 he was volunteering with the EMT in his area. May 2007 he signed on to become a full-time EMT.

The reason I am posting this now is I just found out that he died last night thanks to my sister Kesha. I really wish I never would have lost contact with him. So many years he would talk to my sisters and cousin but I dont know why or what happened we drifted away. Theres those things in life you wish you would have done but didnt.....that is one of mine. Zach was such a good friend.

**You will be forever missed Zach.

its a sad thing and there are always lots of regrets. I regret that I haven't talked to him for four years. At least he is with his mom again.
