fear

My Mom called earlier tonight and was crying. She informed me that a close family friend had died this morning of an accidental overdose. He was a year older than me, and his younger brother is my brothers age. Our families grew up together and lived in the same neighborhood. I'm really sad but it sounds like Russell (the guy who died) had been struggling with some issues for the past few months. I'm not quite sure when the service will be, but I had already planned to go home on Tuesday so I'll be able to be with my family and friends.

My Dad is out of town on business and my bro doesn't live at home, so it scares me a bit that Mom is home upset and by herself (well, she has Sugar at least). As I was taking a shower  I was thinking about my Mom telling me that no one would ever love me as much as she and my Dad would. Our family recently had to put down our dog Chloe and my mom is still devasted by this. She has always told me that she has made a pack with my Dad that she gets to die first.

No one ever wants to think about their parents dying but tonight I said a little prayer that my parents go before my brother and I. I'll be upset and devastated, but I never want to imagine what my Mom or Dad would go through if my brother or I went before they did.
