I found my old MP3 player with Cruise's voice on it the other day, he was playing the violin. If anybody would like to hear it you can reach out at owenobrien1000@gmail.com.

I'd like to thank Cruise again for helping me get over my fear of accountabilty. I wouldn't be nearly the man I am today without his honest and genuine guidance.

I still think about you.

Listening to Jean Sibelius and missing Cruise tonight. It has been two years and I still think about how we talked about composing music together and never got the chance. He was always really good at being a comforting presence through big emotions and supportive no matter what the project was. I recently was thinking about all of the days in sixth grade we’d get to have lunch together, all of the little inside jokes, it seems like it was just yesterday. Particularly this time of year where it would be frost biting and so so cold out but that didn’t matter because we were having fun. I miss him all the time :,-).

Hello and thank you to everyone who continues to think of Cruise. Together, we have made it through two years without him. Yesterday, I was able to listen to some of his favorite pieces of music and feel less pain and more sweetness and gratitude for the 18 years I had with him. Someone described the grief of losing someone as first, a room you can't escape, then a room you find yourself in, and finally, a room you choose to visit. This resonates with me. After two years, I feel as though I'm in the stage between can't escape and find yourself in. Cruise is never far from my mind and when I'm home by myself he constantly inhabits my head and heart, as he's doing now. Should you read this- drop me an email and say hello : ) deanntilton@gmail.com

I think about cruise everyday, he was my best friend. I miss our conversations about the world, how we could connect even more through weird conversation topics. We always understood each other I wish I could talk to him one last time. Sometimes in desperation I still see him sitting in my passenger seat thinking about the laughs we would have and the cries we would cry together. I miss my best friend.

On this 2 year anniversary, I think of how every time I am at the house, I expect to see Cruise on his flight simulator, practicing violin, or just coming over to say hi with a smile and laughing his sweet laugh. He should be enjoying college and starting his adult life and I will never not grieve the massively unjust loss of such a special beautiful soul. Love you, DeAnn. You are so resilient and strong. Somehow you manage to spread so much light and love to everyone around you, while nursing your broken heart. But for you, I suspect, the loving and giving is healing, because that is just who you are. Love to everyone who loves and misses Cruise today and always.

I was so saddened to hear from my dad that Cruise had passed, he was a great friend to me and always made me feel welcomed in his home (alongside his parents), and I heard his love for music surpassed even my own. Hopefully he's playing violin up there with the stars!

Thinking of Cruise today, one year after his passing. Sending love to everyone who loves and misses him. He will always be in my heart and I grieve the tragic loss of this special young man - a beautiful, sweet, kind, sensitive, talented, smart, and genuine soul, taken from us way too soon.

missing cruise a lot this morning, thinking about when me and him went on a permission in residential and there was a ledge you could jump off of with a bungee cord attached. he was too scared to do it so i sat with him while the others participated. i wish everyday to have just one more moment with sweet cruise.
