my childhood friend went missing four days ago

my best friend in elementary school and partially middle school, landon, went missing on tuesday may 12th and i just feel terrible. i couldn't imagine being his mother and feeling that, i am so much less than that and his disappearance is all i can think about and i cannot stop crying over it. i always knew he was different, he meant so much to me and now that he is gone i can barely function without knowing he is safe. no matter what he did, i always loved him and tried to help anyway possible. i remember doing his hair everyday in 6th grade art class, making memories everyday. before 7th grade i moved school and houses, we are now both graduating middle school, and i may seem young to be writing here, or feeling these type of emotions, but i've gone through a lot of trauma i have recovered from, and a lot i haven't recovered from, but this is one of those things that i will never recover from. he was so much to me and for him to vanish is so foreign to me, i need him to come back, i need the helicopters to find him, the police, his mom, even himself to come back on his own knowing how hard it is for all of us sad. so, if you are seeing this, please, pray or manifest that he is okay and someone will find him.

ps, i hope his mom sees this, i am sorry miss sanders.
