Hey. Wow, ok. It's the 25th of February, 2019. Exactly one year ago today, I was crying in my bedroom. Over a fictional character death. It was most certainly not the first time, and probably not the last

I cannot believe it's been a year already. I don't think I made a tribute sorta status to him when I first found out, because I was inactive at the time. So here we go.

Dear Coral, aka Carl Grimes, thank you. Even though your death is the reason I stopped watching TWD, it was worth it. You know, getting to know about you and see you grow up.

It's so true, that if you don't like the characters of a TV show, you're not going to enjoy it. The characters are always what makes the show, so thank you. Because you definitely made the show.

I have so many memories of watching TWD when I was younger, seeing you run up to Rick in episode 1, get shot, stuff your face with chocolate pudding in the middle of a zombie apocolypse, etc.

You taught me how to be strong even though times weren't good. I know you're not coming back to the show, but thank you so much. You were and still are probably my favourite fictional character. Ever. You're my role model.

I used to obsess over The Walking Dead and it's one of my all-time favourite shows, even though I don't watch it anymore. Like I said, it's because they killed you off. When they did that, they killed off the show too. #WorstMistakeEver xd

I remember the episode you revealed the bite so clearly. I didn't think they were going to ACTUALLY kill you off. I thought you were safe.

Also, thank you Chandler Riggs, for portraying Carl in the best way possible. You're an incredible actor and I can't thank you enough.

If I'm honest, I remember every episode super clearly. Every second of it, I watched it wayyy too many times.

I remember when I always stayed up at night looking at those "Coral" memes. The ones with the scene after Lori's death.. Yep, those ones. They were flipping hilarious and they still are (you can know this because I still look at them xd).

Thank you for my childhood, Carl. Thank you for everything. I love you.
