Thats all it takes...a split moment for everything you once knew, someone you once knew, for anything to change..just like that. You never really think about that either, unless something has happend. Its sad. We go to school, make friends, graduate high school, move on to college, or something else and just keep going..for our self. Making new friends, losing others, or not keeping in touch with old friends. Its sad...but true..and inevitable. I've done it, and I think about those friends i had so close back in high school, and i think of everything wonderful we had, and i miss them and think about it often. But yet, i keep that to myself. Something tho, made me think of this a little more....In one moment, a day, a second, anything...in one moment all that could be gone or just go away. Thats not good in some instances, in others sometimes that change is good. I wish this were a happier blog but it isnt, im thinking about the bad that can arise out of this.
We spend our whole life making friends to continue with some and just "have" the others. I know most of have experienced this..but what happens when that changes forever. I had a friend that went to school with for 13 years..13 years thats a long time. We had sleep overs like every weekend, did everything together. Then in middle school, that friend transferred to the Public school and i was left there to just keep going. She then moved to my town while attending the other school. We sometimes talked, sometimes went sled riding during the winters. Finally, senior year she transferred back to my school. I was soo happy, she drove me to school everyday, and sometimes home when needed. We hung out in the summers went to her dock in TL, continued to sled ride all that wonderfulness. Then January 2007 hit we graduated and we didnt really talk at all. She worked, i was getting ready for college she was getting ready to go to mixology school. We just talked via myspace (Yes i used myspace) every once in a while. It was sad but i never really thought much of it. Then July 13th, Fire whistles were going off in my home town. I didnt think anything of it, until i was told it was my friends house. I jumped out of my bed and ran to her house to see it being engulfed in flames. I saw here mom crying and her house...just burning up. I was helpless...i didnt see her standing outside..I heard she was still in the house. I just stood there watching..not cuz it was something to look at it was becuase part of me wanted to believe that she would just come out and be okay. Well, she didnt, and i watched as Fire crews carried her from her bedroom window. It was sad..i miss her. She really was my best friend. And right after Senior year..one month after.
What i am getting at is, we have friends that we grew up with, just met, etc etc. We fall in and out with those people who come into our life and never really think of what could happen if they just..one day are gone. Its sad..but please know that everyone in my life..was in my life that i love you, and even if we spent 2 mins with each other thank you for taking the time to be in my life. For my friends and family who are in it day in and day out..Thank you. YOu have touched me in every way
We spend our whole life making relationships, and even if they dont last, or stay in touch they are something, something important and something that will always be valued. So I challenge you, embrace every friendship you have, had, will have. Let those around you know you appreciate them and thank them. Every moment we have in our life is a gift, grab on to that gift and cherish it.
EVERYONE IN MY LIFE THANK YOU..FOR EVERYTHING GOD BLESS,
Peace.
