Last year on November 17th two days after my 17th birthday my favorite cousin passed away. He was working in Teneto Village on Rota Island in Guam as a high school math teacher. On November 17th 2006, he was scuba diving with some friends and he had a heart attack while he was under the water and he drowned. It was very upsetting for me to find that out. I hadn't seen him in a while so it made me even more upset because I couldn't say bye to him. He was the nicest person you could ever meet. He loved to play his guitar and loved to ride his motorcycle. While he was in Guam he started spear fishing and he loved it. He was the best person ever. I will always remember, love, and miss him, but I know that he will always be watching over me.
