I have been incredibly neglectful of this blog lately. Wow. July was not my favorite month of 2011. Let’s be honest….it was one tragedy after another. I left for camp for a week and got notified 4 different times of someone dying. Death. Dead. Gone. I can’t comprehend that. No matter how hard I try to understand death, it just never happens.
I can’t seem to grasp the concept that someone is gone. I won’t see them again-even if the possibility of seeing them again was limited…it’s for sure gone now. It’s funny how when you hear about something bad happening to someone, the memories of that person flood back to you.
One of my classmates from Hot Springs was just killed. Let’s be real-haven’t really spoke to many of those people for a few years, but the memories are flooding back. It’s neat to me how a group will not talk for awhile, but as soon as something happens, the “family” reunites. I feel useless because I’m so far away and so distant from these people now that I almost feel like a stranger to them. Sad because these were the people I was once closest to. It’s funny how life changes so quickly.
Lesson learned: remember to tell the ones you love that you love them always. Life changes quickly and I’m constantly being reminded that I’m not in control.
