RIP Cody

Umm.. Its kinda stupid that this has me distraught.
I didn't know him.
I haven't talked to her in a long time.
But
my friend,
like a real friend
that I've known since I was probably 10
her boyfriend
died in Iraq the other day.
Please tell me why I'm crying.
I didn't know him.
I guess my dad did.
Knew his dad anyways.
And his brothers.
Why do I keep crying about it?
RIP Cody
