So today was strange.....
Graduation practice was relatively boring then senior luncheon was quite fun...It brought a smile to my face just being able to hang out with all my seniors....
Then Iw ent to Maddison's memorial service. It was a beautiful service. They played "Better Days" by the Googoo Dolls and her father made a reference to the John Mayer's "Daughters". Music is so powerful. It really does attempt to express the inexpressable. If there is oen thing I have learned from Maddison, it is to live life to the fullest and to love to the fullest. Although i was sad to let go of her, I knwo I will always have the memories which I will always cherish. Her infectious laughter and smile will truly stay with me....
Later tonight I went to the Senior Night on the Green. It involved raping goal posts, taking upside down pictures, playing frisbee, and overall just goofing off and having a good time. The best part was the very end. My best friends were all lying on one another on Cort's blanket and then they shot off fireworks. It was one of those perfect moments where it felt like everything was right with the world. Afterwards, i said goodbye to the field that holds so many memories for me. Then I went to Courrt's to watch our new addiction. Then it was time for the midnight premier of X-Men 3: The Last Stand. I sat with Dane and Michael and i only fell asleep once. The movie was pretty good. Michael and i are frustrated about a few parts, but overall it was pretty good (unfortunately a little too short). Michael brought me home tonight and on the way home we got stuck at a red light for literally 7 minutes...it would not change!!!! It was nice having the chance to just talk and laugh with him. Our best conversations happen at 2 in the morning. It's funny how relationships grow and change. No matter what people say, relationships all take effort, but looking back on it now, I know without a doubt all those efforts are worth it.
Honestly there are a few people that i cannot imagine living my life without. You know when you get married and you take a vow saying "to have and to hold to death do us part" well I kinda feel like I have taken a silent vow like that with some of my friends. No matter how cheesy it sounds, tonight has proved to me that love truly is the greatest of all things. As i embrace graduation, I embrace the idea that, altough our paths may differ, our souls will not seperate. We simply have experienced too much together to let this end.
