Oh why must the month of July mark such a time of sorrow in my family and life? I’ve lost such an important friend today, and I can’t even yet convince myself that any of this is true. They say,” You will never forget your first love,” and I won’t, but everything has just ended way too soon for me to have gotten the chance to express a single ounce of what I had felt for that kid… I have seen much death throughout this short 15 years, much more than many my own age, of people just so close and so dear to me. I have come to find out that none of that gets any easier. With death comes severe sorrow and pain that you feel you can never overcome, and you won’t, but you will with time find ways to get on with your life, while still keeping those close with you always. I can honestly say this is my first true personal friend that was to pass, and it’s a whole different kind of pain to experience. I look back only to see we had spent three short years together, but let me tell you they were enough to fall in love. My time with you, Jordan, felt like a lifetime of friendship, yet cut too short at the same time. Jordan you told me once that you liked me and I liked you too very much, and even though we hadn’t the time to have come to something special, our friendship from there was some of the best time of my life! I fell in love with everything about you, your laugh, your goofy smile, your sweet personality, and the genuine presence you brought to your environment. You gave humor to the most troubled situations. (You never failed to make me smile! 8) I saw how special you could make everyone around you feel just by the simplest of conversation. You truly had a great gift there… You were a true light to everyone’s day, and shown brighter and brighter each day! I can honestly say you have been one big highlight of my life thus far, and I will keep you with me always! What I wouldn’t give to see your bright smiling face and those big colorful eyes one more time! Jordan, I loved you once, I love you still, Always have, and ALWAYS WILL! Jordan Michael Sand, you were the first love of my life, and I will always keep a piece of “lover boy” in my heart forever! Smile big and bright up there in heaven for me, so I can look up from time to time and know and see that you are always with me! You know, you were a pretty good kid too! ;) Until we meet again… R.I.P. Jordan Sand ♥
ReplyDeleteWe all love and miss ya, I will keep you with me always bud!

Jordan I'm going to miss you so much! You were a light in my life every day and I will never forget you. Ever. Jasmine Brooks
ReplyDeleteJordan you were such a funny guy to be around, whenever I was in a depressed mood, or bad mood you always found ways to make me laugh man.I will never forget when we ran side by side on the track and talked about funny thing's and laughed over that, I will never forget you jordan you will be greatly missed RIP BUD.
ReplyDeleteJordan, you were and awesome kid. I just met you this year, but you made a huge impression on my life. Track was boring if you werent there. You were always there for me, I just wish I could have been there for you. You never even showed one ounce of sadness, you were always smiling or making jokes. You were such a cute, funny and amazing kid, which is why I think I havent been able to process that you are really gone. Im sorry for all the sorrow that you had, I just wish there was something that could have been done. I love ya Jordan, and track wont be the same without you there. I will miss ya, and I will see ya someday! Love ya kid ♥
ReplyDeleteWe didn't lose Jordan, that's for sure. He's not lost- I can say without a doubt that I know he's in heaven, watching over everybody now.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't goodbye, Jordan, its simply a "see you later". I'll bet that anybody who ever had the pleasure of meeting and knowing you can say that they'll never forget the way it was so hard not to smile when you were near, your great laugh, or how much you did for people.. and so much more. I know I surely won't. Three years just doesn't seem long enough to have known one of my best friends I've ever had. You've changed my life, brother. I won't ever forget ANY of the memories we shared. I love you, Jordan! Miss you already, and always will.
- Maddie.
Jordan,
ReplyDeleteWe never really talked but when I saw you, you made people smile and laugh. You always tried to make people happy. I'm sorry for what those kids did to you and nobody deserves to be treated that way! Hopefully this is a wake up call. Unfortunately, you had to be the one who had to make us come to our senses. I wish I would've known you better. I'll see you someday.
Ill miss you man I never cry and I have to say I have now Knowing I talked to you Sunday and now knowing that was the last time it makes me just feel sick I cant imagine ur family greef. I love you bro and ill see ya later

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Jordan was in class at SPP with my daughter. It seemed like everyday my boys came home with a story about something funny Jordan did on the bus that day. He always made them laugh. I hope you can all find peace some day and know that Jordan will never be forgotten.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness , i remember when i logged on facebook to see what was happeing on there, i was at work and i was waiting for people to board, i was sitting in the cool air , and all of a sudden i see R.I.P jordan, from Mikayla Hannah , i looked to see the 9 comments at the time , so girl asked Mikayla which jordan it was , me only being at Campbell County that year i only knew 3 Jordans , I Knew a girl named jordan from middle school, and Jordan Mason , And Jordan Sand, i couldn't imagine it being either of them, but i looked and mikayla put sand, and that moment i dropped my phone, and starting crying my eyes out, 2 of my crew members came in they were ladies, and they rushed in and asked what had happen, i told them, and they sat there and hugged me so tight, i just didnt wanna let go.. even though i only knew jordan for freshman year, ill never forget how kind he was to me, because i was new there, ill never forget when i got my first pair of coach shoes, and i got scuff marks all over them, and i didn't even ask him too, but he would sit there and take an easer and got them off, i thanked him so much, ill never forget you jordan,, i love you !! and some day we will meet again , ... your such a angel <3
