Feb. 3, 34th day of 2007
i haven't really written about anything significant in awhile. I guess I have been busy.
yesterday was feb. 2 which means it has been a full year since my Aunt Karen was considered brain dead. I can't belive its been a year since all that happened. I remember it like it was yesterday. I came home from a wrestling match and i was told Derek and Karen were in a car accident. I remember asking if Derek was ok, and thats all i cared about, was derek and if we was alright. I remember the days going by and the rumors flying around about what happened and having to sit through school dealing with people who didn't care about my family, they just wanted the gossip...it was torture. I remember going up to the hospital on a friday and saying goodbye to Karen. We had already found out the night before that she wasn't coming back. I remember the look on Derek's face when he found out that his mother was gone. I knew then that he would never be the same. No one should have to go trought that. Its just not fair. I remember Kelly and how she helped me get through it all. She was there every step of the way. Holding me up when I wasn't sure if I could handle any more pain. I love her for that, I don't think i could ever explain how much that meant to me. I remember the funeral. And how they're wasn't a dry eye in the buidling. And I remember the party afterwards. Yea i know weird that we had a party, but Karen would have wanted it that way. The whole town donated food. Because the whole town felt the loss of Karen. Who know typing all of that would bring tears to my eyes. I guess we never truly forget pain. We just put it aside.
Hey Wow, it must be hard, sorry to hear all that. But always remember, it is okay to cry. Sometimes all we ever need is someone to hold us up when we can't our self, such as Kelly has done for you. Other times life makes us feel as though we have no control, which in some situations this is actually the case. Always remain hopeful in even the worst situation... you never quite know how much a single positive thought could change your whole day for the better. Brittany, I know you probably think of me as just another 7th grader, but I want you to know that I'll always be there... even when you're off the college, if you'd like. But my point is that I know that nothing can stand in your way. This entry brought a tear to my eye and made me realize that we all should tell eachother how we feel, before it's too late.
Stay Strong and Take Care,
Sarah
