Russell left on Wednesday..
I went over on Tuesday night after he'd been set up apart to say good bye to my best friend for two whole years. It was the hardest thing of my life! It felt so weird not being able to hug him. I was fighting back the urge. Luckily, Alexa was there for me to cry with and she gave me tons of "Russell Hugs". It's woird to think he's really gone. I just keep wanting to go over to his house or text him about any little thing. I already miss our night time walks so much! I wish I could have my best friend back... But I know Russell made the right decision. He is going to make such a difference in so many people's lives and he's going to change them for the better. I'm so proud of him. But that doesn't make me miss him any less...."His absence is more to me than any other's presence."
