From joy to dispair all in the matter of a few minutes....
So my weekend was going so well and then things just had to happen that shouldn't have happened, I'm trying not to let it get me down, but it is really hard, so lets recap
Thursday: went down to Kairos to introduce Laney, it was awesome and I didn't want to leave. I wish I had more than one page to express how amazing that girl is, she is truly an angel. Anyways, We both cried when we hugged and had no idea that we would be doing it so soon again....
Friday: So my mom's in florida right and my dad ends up going to poker til 2 am, so im thinking what a great time to have people over. Hmm...not so, me and megan ended up just hanging out here because we have no friends and no one to buy for us. But whatever, we had fun all by ourselves
Saturday: Megan calls my house im thinking 7 times and on that 7th call I finally wake up and decide to get up and answer the phone, even though I thought my dad was there to answer it, when he really wasn't. Sorry Meg, I was catching up after only getting a couple hours the night before talking to Laney. We went shopping, somewhat successful, though I think I need to go again! After that we headed to Caitlins where Tara and I commenced our total domination on the beiriut table! i think it was 5 and a half games losing on the last cup in the rebuttle! I have never done so well, i think i made four shots in a row once! Anyways, me and meg went to steves, which was fun. I had a good talk with a certain someone who i have been trying to understand and get through to for a while. i think i am getting there, but it is hard to tell.
Sunday: So I am so excited to go to the Kairos reception thing, that I can't write my paper that I needed to do. I get there and realize im the only one who is smiling, but i have no idea why. I ask the leaders how the retreat went and they say great, but it doesn't show in their faces the way it did on the last retreat. By this time I know something is wrong and then realize that Laney isnt there, the one person I wanted to see the most. I ask them where she is and they say she can't be there and I am so confused. Then she shows up and I ask her what is wrong. She said that she had to leave the retreat early because her dad died. I couldn't believe it and once again found myself hugging her with tears in my eyes. She is so strong to have been able to show up there when not everyone knew what had happened and when she had to deal with what had just happened. I just don't understand why such horrible things happen to such wonderful people like her. She is truly the most beautiful person I know inside and out. Why her? She says herself that God only gives us what we can handle, but how can someone handle this. It's not the answer and I am furious that he took the easy way out because now she and her family have to suffer. I love her to death and i hope that you will all pray for her and her family. There will be a memorial service at St. Annes soon, if you guys want to come.
So that is how my joy turned to despair so quickly, I am trying to be strong and not let it affect me, but it does because she has affected me the short while that I have known her. I have to get to bed though so i can think about everything that has happened.
Love
