How are your eyes?....WITH PRIDE
So I guess it's over....I keep thinking of some old school lyrics "When it's over, is it really over?" Band banquet was last night. Although parts of it were pretty boring, overall it was a great way to end it all. So basically i am a dork and I know that, as of right now, I am leaving band forever so last night was really it. What really got me wwas the senior farewell video. Aaron actually bought Court and I a box of tissues for last night (I used about half of the box). I watched all the people who have meant the world to me flash across the screen with their memories and inside jokes. When mine came on I lost it, but thankfully I was surrounded by the most supportive people ever. It hadn't really hit me until last night. The final closeout was pretty rough as well. I guess I'll just have to continue to keep my eyes with pride. Now i am overcome but such a great sadness, but as Michael says, we still have the summer! Overall, band has been the experience of a lifetime. After searching for most of my life, i found my place to be, to just feel comfortable. I just can't believe that I no longer get to be the clarinet mommy or to march on that blazing hot asphalt. My band experiences will always hold a special place and my heart. I want all of you that have been party of any or all of my four years to know that you have truly made this program special. I will forever hold on to all the little stolen moments.
On another subject, yesterday i found out that a good friend from elementary and middle school passed away a couple of days again. Madison was such an amazing person. So many of my childhood memories revolve around her. She had suffered through cystic fibrosis and could no longer stand all of the stress. Although I know that it is better for her, I cannot help but mourn the life that she should have had. She was so close to graduation. I remember sitting across from her at my fifth grade graduation and the multiple target trips we took together. She just had the best spirit. Please keep her family as well as the Murphy's in your prayers.
