A Recommendation for a story on Codey's World

[The_Round_One]

I don't know if many people actually see the Story Cafe on here, but I want to recommend the 10-part story "From the Heart" on Codey's World. I find it amazing that someone who died before his 18th birthday was able to write something so wise and touching. I recommend it heartily!!

........... I knew Cody before he died, very tragic result of an auto accident that killed his entire family less him, but left him severally disabled. His Grandfather and boyfriend cared for him until he succumbed later then went back home to die. He wrote some very strong stories, poetry and analysis before he passed. Blue took over the site and I know that our own member Collian posts his stories there today. If you can find his 'Unicorn' piece read it, it was very inspiring.

The story is made even more poignant when you realise that Codey almost certainly knew he was dying when he wrote that story.

 

He's still sorely missed

Everything Codey wrote is beautifully touched
