sad day in room 414
Man, times just got a little worse for our room. My roommate's dad died earlier tonight from cancer. We went to see her at the hospital while he was still alive, but we left like 20mins before he passed. I'm just praying that I can be there for her as a good (basically new) friend.
It's amazing how close my roommates and I have gotten since August. I just don't know what I want to be done if I was in that situation. I would think that I would only want to be with my brothers and mom, maybe my cousin... but other than that, no one. At least not till I was ready to see them. That's just assuming though.
Tonight made me think about how much I have in this world, and yes, I remember to thank God at every chance I get. I know that I am vry blessed, but what I don't know is why children would have to go through this experince at such a young age. Two of my three roommates can not be walked down the isle by their father, or have the father daughter dance. Whenever my mom and I talk about the future and what it could possibly hold (like wedding and kids) we talk/joke about what song my daddy and I will dance to then about how my daddy will make a crazy grandpa/papaw one day. (One day FAR away.) It just made me think, and I know this is a depressing subject, but since my roommates are sleeping I wouldn't want to bother them with this. (Thank goodness for LJ being a lame way to express feelings... hahaha.. I'm turning into my worst nightmare-- and EMO kid!! GROSS!!!) Sometimes I just don't know about this world.
On the upside, Matt has moved to Austin w/his puppy! aka- I have one brother in Austin, and one to go! This past weekend was pretty steller to say the least. Friday was KO's Tennis match and then dinner at Mother's. Really good veg. place. No meat, and sooooooo GOOD! Then Saturday my mom came up to take me to San Marcos to shop, where around 5:00 I got to meet up with Foote and her mom for dinner. After dinner we went to see the color guard perform at State. In the end they got 2nd! yay!! My mom and I left around 11:00 though, because we just wanted to get home. She slept in my DORM bed, and I slept in my roommate's bed because she wasn't here. So, that was pretty much one of the best weekends thus far in this semester! Well, I'm tired and I still have to dry my hair. Hopefully see or talk to y'all around Easter!
Say a prayer for Lauri's family. She needs it. And for all the other families missing a loved one to early.
