In Memory Of Galen

This site is in memory of Galen Noah Doucette. He was one of my best friends for just about my entire life. On February 12th, 2002, he took his own life. He was the best friend anyone could have. He was funny, fun to be around, he cared, he was a pretty deep thinker and I think he really liked Mr. Eckardt's Honors American Lit. class because it makes you think and stand up for what you believe in. In fourth grade, Galen and Kyle were two of my best friends. At recess, we'd sit out on the spider (like monkey bars but not quite) and we'd tell each other how we had seen ghosts in the school and how Freddy Krueger was going to come up out of the ground and grab all the other kids and eat them. But we were safe because we were up high where he couldn't get us. Fifth grade we'd always make snow forts and the payment to get in them were crystals (just big chunks of ice). We thought the huge ice chunks really were crystals, that's what made it fun. The rest of the years in grade school (6th-8th) were the best when he was around. If you ever needed to talk to someone, you could always go to him. Eighth grade had to be the best year though. In science, I sat next to Pete and Galen and Ryan H. sat in front of us. Me, Pete, Galen and Ryan would talk the whole entire time. About what...who knows. They always used to think that I do drugs and that I'm this big pothead (trust me, I'm clean). So they gave me the nickname Sarahjuana. Eighth grade graduation was kind of sad (that night, though, Galen came to dinner with me and my family, they thought he was my boyfriend! lol It was nice having him with us though). I knew I wouldn't see my friends much, if at all, the coming 4 years. Well, as it turns out, Galen and I were put into the same English class our freshman year! We sat next to each other and laughed about the stupid stories I wrote (which actually got A's!). He STILL thought I was a drug addict, and one time I told him this story about this statue (we're Catholic and my mom got a statue of the Virgin Mary to put in our garden) that my dog was barking at, and then he's like "It's a Jesus statue and it's prolly a crackpipe..you just take the arm off and smoke up." Everytime that I seen him from then on he'd say "So Sarah, how's Jesus?" Everyone thought we were big religious freaks for saying that, but he n I knew what he meant by it. When I found out what had happened, I was in 5th hour Honors American Lit., the only class this year that I had with Galen. I started crying and didn't stop until about a few days later. I couldn't stop thinking about it, running it through my head again and again, screaming in my mind wondering why him? Why did he do it? Why didn't I notice something was wrong? Why Why Why?! Trust me, asking questions like that doesn't help..I don't even know how or why I ever stopped crying. I know it's only been a few months..but for some stupid, VERY stupid reason, I feel a lot better. I'm not saying that I feel better because he's gone..I'd never ever say that. No one will ever replace Galen. And I really don't want anyone to. He'll always have a place deep inside me. I'll always miss him, but he'll always be there...I love you Galen, and I just wish there was something I could have done to have made you change your mind.

Here is a song that should be dedicated to him, it's called Angel's Son by Sevendust:

Life is changing
I can't go on without you
Rearranging, I will be strong
I'll stand by you

(You were fighting everyday)
(So hard to hide the pain)
(I know you never said goodbye)
(I had so much left to say)

One last song
Given to an Angel's Son
As soon as you were gone
As soon as you were gone

I have a new life now
She lives through you
What can I do?
I feel so alone now
I pray for you
We still love you

(You were fighting everyday)
(So hard to hide the pain)
(I know you never said goodbye)
(I had so much left to say)

One last song
Given to an Angel's Son
As soon as you were gone
As soon as you were gone
One last song
(I can't believe you're gone)
Given to an Angel's Son
(I can't believe)
As soon as you were gone
As soon as you were gone...
~*^You will be missed forever Galen^*~

...you can't shake the shock
