Goodness of America
In Memory of a Dear Friend
Twelve-year-old Kaleb Klakulak honored his best friend, K.J. Gross, in a way no child should ever have to consider, in this story out of Warren, Michigan.
Gross and Klakulak became fast friends when Klakulak’s parents divorced and he moved to Warren. Like Gross, he was shy and struggled to make friends at his new school, but the two boys found comfort in each other and discovered that they had a lot in common.
Kaleb’s mom, Kristy Hall, recalls, “I think they liked each other because they ‘got’ each other,” she said. “They were both able to just be themselves and be together without having to impress the other one.”
