Memories With LAUREN ALYSSA SHUTTLE...
Most Of You May Not Know That A Year (I'm Not Real Sure On The Date But It Was Sometime Last Weekend). This Is A Letter That I Wrote To Lauren On The Caring Bridge Site...
Lauren,
Oh My Goodness, I Can Not Believe It's Been A Year Since I Went & Visited You In The Hospital. I Still Remember You Yelling At Your Mom Because You Heard Her Opening A Bag Of Chips Or Something In The Middle Of The Night. I Remember You Playing With The My Scene Dolls That We Got For You & Everytime Grandma Sharon Would Put Something On The Table That You Had The Stuff Set Up On, She'd Knock It Down. You Could Just See In Your Eyes That You Were Getting Frustrated. It Was So0o Sad Seeing You With That Tube In Your Throat & Not Being Able To Eat ANYTHING That You Wanted To Eat. Like...
*Shells & Cheese, Bubblegum Swirl Ice Cream & Anything Else You Were Craving (Those Are Just A Few That I Could Remember). I Remember You Looking At The Fake Bowl Of Popcorn That Was For Your My Scene Dolls & I Looked At You & You Were Just Out Of No Where Just Started Saying "SHELLS & CHEESE, SHELLS & CHEESE!!!" I Wasn't Really Sure What You Had Said, So I Asked & You Said It Again. I Just Smiled & Laughed! You Could NOT Stop Thinking About Food While That Tube Was In You. I Also Remember You Asking Heather What She Was Going To Have For Dinner & Heather Just Laughed & Said "LAUREN, I'M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT FOOD WHEN YOU CAN'T EAT!" You Were Just Like "WELL FINE THEN, HOLLY & ASHLEY, WHAT ARE YOU GUYZ GONNA HAVE FOR DINNER?" I Don't Think Holly & I answered Eather, I Don't Really Remember That Part. But You Told Us That You Like Talking About Food Because It Helped You More. I Remember When We Took You For A Little Walk Down Stairs & We Went Outside & Michael Wanted To Push You & You Got A Really SCARED Look On Your Face. You Were Like "DON'T KILL ME MICHAEL, DON'T RUN ME INTO ANYTHING!!" We All Just Laughed. You Had A Sense Of Humor That No Matter If You Were Sick Or If You Were Well, You Could ALWAYS Light Up The Room. Even If You Didn't Talk, Which I Don't Think You NEVER NOT Talked! HeHe! I Remember Visiting You In The Hospital Like It Was Yesterday! I Miss All Your Stories, Lauren. But Most Of All, I Miss You!
I Can NOT Believe That You Would Be In 7th Grade This Year! I'm In High School Now & I Have My History Class With Your Cousin, Ashley. I Sit Kiddy Corner From Her & I Turned Around & She Had Her Head On Her Desk & Her Eyes Closed. The First Day Of School, I Had My "LAUREN SHIRT" On & This One Kid Asked Me If I Knew Ashley Nater Because I Guess Ashley Wore The Shirt To School Or Something One Time. & I Said Yes That I Knew Her & I Told Him How I Knew You & Everything.
I Have This Neclace That's In A Shape Of A Heart & It Says Lauren On It & My Neighbor Down The Street Was Calling Me Ashley & My Other Neighbor Was Like "WHY ARE YOU CALLING HER ASHLEY? HER NAMES LAUREN" & The Other Girls Like No It's Not, It's Ashley & The Other Girl's Like, Yes It Is lauren, It Says It On Her Necklace. So, I Had To Tell Her Why I Have A Necklace That Says Lauren & I Could Tell That She Felt Bad.
Well What Else Can I Say...
I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH, LAUREN! I LOVE YOU TO PIECES!
