Comments: Grant, I can't believe its been a year. Corey and I and all of your friends still talk about you everyday. Corey still misses you so much and is trying to be as "sick" on guitar as you. He says he's never heard anyone play like you did. We know you are watching down on everyone and you, your parents and your brother Gerald continue to be in our thoughts and prayers each night. We love and miss you. Tina (Corey's mom)

Comments: I remember grant..he was in my band class in 8th grade..he was a good trumpet player..we didnt talk much back then and once in a while i'd see him in the hallway in highschool we still didnt talk much..but when i heard that he died i felt it because i actually shared a class with him and i didnt think anybody in any of my classes could die at a young age..but i guess GOD was ready to bring him home so i just wanted tell him to R.I.P. and for his family to try not to hurt to much because he's not dead he's just resting safely with JESUS...

Comments: Grant, I love and miss you so much. There's not a day that goes by that i don't think about you. I stopped at the crash site today. I wrote on your cross, again. for the third time. The rain keeps washing it off. God i miss you, you were one of my only true friends. Watch over us, because i don't know what i'd do if i lost another great friend. I hope you, Francis, Megan, Tyler, and Taylor are having fun up there, because we miss y'all like hell.

Comments: Hey buddy...when I read all these messages I see that not a whole bunch of people knew you well or hung out with you for a long time but they all valued your friendship.  These are my memories...

The first day we met:  I got dropped off at Union Methodist pre-school at 4 years old.  I didn't know anyone but I had always heard that you should bring an apple to the teacher on the first day of school.  So my father gave me a green apple to give to my teacher.  Half way up the hill, I noticed some goofy looking kid with hair like a bowl hanging down below his eyebrows.  The first thing this kid said to me was "hey are you going to eat that".  I said nope and gave him my apple.  Sure enough all the teacher had on her desk was an apple core.  That was the first day I met Grant Gallagher.  That afternoon my mom recalls me running in the door and talking about this hilarious kid I met at school.  She call's Mrs. Kim and schedules lunch with her sometime that week.  The two mothers found out that we lived in the neighborhood right next to each other.  That following day was a Friday and Grant was over at my house hanging out like he had known me his whole life.

From that spark on Grant and I hung out almost every day, every weekend, every week for the rest of pre-school and kindergarten.  In first grade, we weren’t in the same class at Irmo elementary but we ate lunch together and played outside in the woods between Sheffield and Hillcreek almost every afternoon.  We played tag and swam in pools and caught fireflies.  We were the definition of best friends.

Throughout elementary school Grant and I hung out at least 6 times more than any of my other friends.  I have memories of the okra strut, the state fair, my first Carolina game ect were all made with this same goofy funny Grant Gallagher.

His house became my house.  At least every weekend was spent at each other's house.  Soon our parents started making a schedule and trading off nights where we would spend the night at each other's house.  I still remember Grant's room in his house was painted blue.  And we would stay up all night just to stay up all night and be dead tired the next day.

Freshman year was tough for me.  My grades fluxuated from good to bad too good to bad to finally ending up bad at the end of the year.  During my freshman year Grant got his restricted so we were pumped for summertime when he could drive around.  So on the first part of summer we had so much fun driving around hanging out mutual friends and crashing at each other’s house talking about everything.  That summer Grant and I talked about things I haven’t talked about with any other friend.  We talked about the kind of girl we would want to marry, and how we were going to be each other’s best man.  And how the bachelor party was going to be.  I distinctly remember one night during the middle of summer when we were on top of the roof of my 5 story condo at the beach.  There was a warm breeze coming off the shore and it felt good.  We sat there eating salsa chips and talked about death.  Not dying young, but dying old and wrinkly sitting together at a cafe in Spain or Italy.  We talked about each other’s funeral as we sat there listening to Wish You Were Here flow from the speakers we had taken up there.  It was deep.  We knew that friendship like this you don’t find around every corner.  We clicked...we connected like no other person I have ever met.

I remember I had three days before I was going to leave.  And every night was spent with Grant.  We did stupid stuff...like sit on top of the suburban in block buster's parking lot drinking sweet tea and eating burgers from McDonalds, or going to sit at the lake, or going to watch a movie.  We just spent time together.  We didn’t talk too much, but when we did talk it was about the good days.  The really good years.  We both promised on the day I left that we would keep in touch, and that the summer was going to be awesome...when we hugged each other and said goodbye...I didn’t think it was going to be for the last time.

In the mountains of North Carolina it got to be negative 11 degrees.  In my cold tent I prayed to God.  I prayed to please get me home, please let me leave.  God answered my prayers that night...and in the morning I received a message from my "leader" that I was to be evacuated from the mountains and that I was going home.  I rode the bus all the way down the mountain to the taco bell outside of Asheville.  That was when I saw my parents...but they weren't smiling...half way to my mama's arms I knew that something was wrong.  I stopped dead and looked at my father.  He told me something I will never forget..."Son, two boys got into a car crash last night...one was Grant and one was Francis..."

I didn’t cry then...no sir...I cried when it hit me an hour and half later on the way to Mrs. Gallagher's house...I couldn’t breathe, a darkness flooded me, and my mind wouldn’t function.  He was gone.  He promised...when I got home the city was in shock.  Why Grant?  Mrs. Gallagher told me that this question would never be answered.  I lost my faith that night...God had answered my prayer's...but not in the right way.

The week was filled with cold tears, lots of hugs, and so much pain. When I carried that casket down the aisle and into that long black carriage.  I touched him for the last time.  That bond stayed with me though.  Grant has stayed with me from that moment in pre-school on.  It will not be broken and damnit...a spot for Grant Michael Gallagher will be reserved next to me in my wedding...in the position of best man.  That afternoon before I went back into the wilderness waiting for boarding school, my father gave me that pat on the back...and told me everything was going to be alright...but it wasn’t and it is never going to be the same.  Everything reminds me of him.  Waffle house, the bowling alley, Frankie’s, any type of music...and the song Wish You Were Here...
