if you are the "praying type" please keep the friends and family of my friend derek in prayer. he was murdered around 4:30 sunday morning by his ex girlfriends dad. also please keep four of his best friends (david, matt, shane, and will) in prayer. i know this is killing them. back in september 2004 they lost their best friend daniel. the six of them were always together, the mole crew they called themselves.
i remember when i first met derek. it was the beginning of 10th grade. derek daniel david and shane would hang out in the same hallway as i did before school started. somehow i got his screen name and we started talking and eventually starting a month long relationship on and off with our fickleness. i remember when broke up one night and the next morning we got back together. he realized he cared about and "loved" me. he couldn't stop thinking about me that night and wrote a letter apologizing and asking to get back together. i also remember going to the county fair with him and matt and maybe amber? whoever matt's girl friend was there. and i remember being at matt's birthday party and derek and thomas (who was my boyfriend then) jumping and farting on each other. i sat there wondering why i was ever with them, it was so crazy. derek was such a great guy.
i hate it had to take this for everyone to get back together. hopefully, like thomas said, it'll stick. after daniel died it was like everyone split.
it felt like old times being with thomas when we were just friends before we dated. it was great and i was so glad he was there for me. i don't think i would of been able to make it through the day without him and all my other friends. stephen's really been there too and offered to come which ment so much, but it was only something old friends could help with. we've through this together and all come together.
my world has been turned upside down since i heard the news. thinking about derek being gone and worrying about the guys. then i hear about casey and his burn.i feel like my world is falling all around me. i know in the end though, G-d is there and helping the whole way through.
when i found out about the church plant i knew coming back to richmond i wouldn't have the same core group of friend i have had. i knew i would be with my friends from high school and shows. not those i went to church with. i feel one reason G-d brought me back was for this. knowing the whole gang and all the gangs would get back together. there's a reason i'm back here and i see it now. it gives me hope. i think its the only thing helping me through this time right now.
(sorry if it all doesn't make sense.)
