Michael Crump <3 july 5th, oh six.. R.I.P.

<font face="arial"><font size="3"><center> Try One. Michael Crump...The young man who valued everyone's life to the fullest. Everyone's life but his own. A lifeguard, a volounteer fire fighter, a Father, and a Brother. He stayed strong when things were going on that he should'nt have to worry about. As a teenager, he should be allowed to have fun, to party, to worry about grades and girls, not where he was supposed to sleep or how he was going to pay for meals. He should have a stable home to go to, and so should his brothers and sisters. But He also should have known his limits. I still wonder what was going through his head when he got ontop of that car, oblivious to what could happen in a matter of seconds. We all wonder, and we all regret, but Michael never had the chance to regret it. Allthough Michael had the burdens of an adult at such a young age, he never let that stop him from having fun. Sometimes, the fun you think you are having in the heat of the moment can turn out to be much more than you really bargained for. Much more than you expected. Sometimes, though, in this case. It can give you wings to soar. Try Two. Michael Crump. He was like a Brother to me. A Role Model. He was there when he was needed, up untill now. As a teenager, Michael should've been allowed to have fun and party, to worry about his grades and girls, not about his son or his brother, where he would be sleeping that night, or how he was supposed to pay for things that life throws at you, like it or not. But...He also should've known his limits. He should've known not to step foot near a car when drunk, nevermind to get on top of the car while it was moving. I first heard what had happened, or in my case, what we werent sure happened, and thought, "No way. The Michael I know would'nt have done something that incredibly stupid." But under the influence, no one knows what can happen. And let this be a lesson to anyone and everyone. Let it teach you that things can be blown out of perportion. That bad things like this CAN happen to you, wether you think differently or not. In this moment, it does'nt seem real. That we'll never see him on duty at Magic Springs, or smiling at his son, or being a smartass again. Michael Crump was a good man. He valued everyone's life so well, his brothers and sisters and his son's. And even complete strangers. He was a volounteer firefighter and a lifeguard. Apparently, he valued everyone's I wrote these about my God Brother who died over the summer. >.< Heaven Sends && Heaven Takes This song is dedicated to him: "Part Of My Past" --Daphne Loves Derby Make this ride as fast as I can Tonight this road home feels a little longer I hope you know that you were my best friend Tonight I said goodbye, but I should have said more Thanks for the best time of my life. Come home, now that you're gone I've finally realized That you were the best Come home, I won't forget the times that we had I'm wishing that you weren't a part of my past Emptiness swallows this town From now on I will be alone for good Will you remember my name? I'm hoping that I will hear from you soon Thank you for everything Come home, now that you're gone I've finally realized That you were the best Come home, I won't forget the times that we had So please don't be a part of my past
