I'm probably the only person going to actually leave a condolence on this website, but I want Colin's family and friends to know just how much he meant to me. (I'm going to spell his name with only one "l" because that's how I always knew it, and I can't find myself to spell it the newer way.) I only dated Colin for two years, but it felt like a lot longer than that. He was always a very laid-back person, and he never let much get to him simply because he believed that nothing was worth getting upset over, because when you're upset, you're not appreciating the good things in life. That's all that Colin wanted was for everyone around him to be happy. I believe I had only gotten to meet his sister and father a couple times, but whenever I was around, they always made me feel like I was family. His mother always cracked jokes right from the first time I met her, and I knew that he had a good family that loves and cares about him. Colin came into my life at the right time, it seemed. I always viewed him as an angel of sorts, sent to me to not only protect me, but to guide me and help better my life. He certainly did just that and more for me, not only while he was here, but still now in Heaven. I love and care about him more than words can describe, and I'm so upset that he's gone, but I know he is off doing something better. He was (and still is) one of the most wonderful people I have ever met, inside and out, and I know that he would not want anyone to grieve over him. My parents and close family love him dearly, and he will never be forgotten in our hearts. Whoever's reading this, I thank you for doing so, and don't think of Colin's departure as a loss, because I know he's doing something far more unimaginable for everyone. Thank you for everything.
