I've known Wendy since I was 6 years old. We met in first grade. After changing of schools, we finally re-met in high school and became pretty good friends. It was obvious (to everyone but eachother) that we had crushes on the other. Things never seemed to line up though. We stayed great friends though. Usuaully hanging out atleast 3-4 times a week outside of school; Sometimes into the wee hours of the night. Heh, i remember at the junior prom, they called for the last dance. My date had to leave a few minutes earlier, so i was just going to sit it out. Even though Wendy had came with someone else, she said that it was her last chance to dance with me and she wasn't going to pass it up.
After highschool, we stayed in touch here and there... but after about a year, we lost touch. Occasionally we'd see each other around and say hi, but that was about it. The last time I saw her was probably two or so years ago... I saw her driving and tried to get her attention, but it didn't work.
Now, I won't see her again. The ceremony is in a couple of hours and I didn't even hear of her passing until today. I partially blame my mother because she apparently "didn't know" that wendy and I used to be so close (weird considering how much her and I hung out. That's just an excuse though... if I wouldn't have lost touch with her so badly, then I would've known....
I'll miss you Wendy.
