rest peacefully....
Oh god...
I'm crying. I don't even know why, I didn't even know the girl...
Sam Haffley, whom we have been having fundrasiers for, passed away this morning.
I don't know why this has touched my heart so, I didn't even know her.
It just makes my heart hurt that she will never get a chance at life. She was only 15 or 16.
I think about how she must have felt, hurting so badly when she was just trying to stay alive, and I can't even begin to imagine it.
Today, in Science, Shannon suddenly noticed they weren't playing "Mmm Bop" anymore, I listened, and I too didn't hear it. I though, "Wow, maybe we already reached $750 to stop the bop!" But my thoughts were laid to rest minutes later when Mr. Shreve made an announcment to the teachers to please read their prepared speaches. I knew right then, the worst had happened. Mr. Maskrey made the announcement, that Sam had passed away that morning. For once, I truly think, that the entire school was silent. We have been having quite a few fundrasiers for her; Stop the Bop, Subs for Sam, the Harvest dance, and I think we had another coming up.
I sat in all my classes, looking at the same things on the wall that she looked at, and I thought about how she would have seen the football schedules and planned on going with her friends, or those lame job posters they have and what she wanted to be, and just... everything. How she didn't know this day in 2004, would be a year later when she died. How we take evern the simplest things, things you wouldn't even consider someone would yearn for... Like going to school, how much do you think she wanted to come back... and see her friends, just be normal? Probably more than you'd ever know.
She was in a coma... At least the actual dying part didn't hurt, she doesn't have to suffer anymore--and I know thats and overused saying, but its true.
And when you think about it, theres probably no problem that you have right now that could be worse that battling cancer.
And I'm not trying to make myself sound like almighty jesus in this post, I'm just posting how I truly feel.
But if you believe in god... or whoever.. what the hell ever, pray for Sam's family.
rest in peace sam.
