reflecting on life......lol

ok saturday we went to bayville again and chilled at angela's beachhouse. i wish i could live there seriously those kids don't even realize how lucky they are that they live in million dollar houses on the shore. its just like normal life for them. sophie is the girl who lives next door and i hadn't seen her since last summer! ron took mel sophie and some other kids out on his boat to go tubing but after my jet ski injury, and also my cold, and the fact that it was 29548 degrees out, i decided to stay behind. so while they were off on the ocean being pulled around by a boat at high velocities on a tube, i stayed behind and layed out on the deck. i saw sophie's grandparents who i haven't seen since last year and it was really....disturbing. her grandpa is like this awesome guy, he's like 75 and last year he was the one who took us out jetskiing, he's a retired firefighter and he was one of the chiefs at the world trade centers on 9-11. he's just a really awesome old guy, and his wife marilyn is like soooo hilarious. i've known them since i was little. but anyways i saw them saturday, and i did not even recognize them. they both have cancer and no exagerration marilyn must have lost like 100 pounds and he lost more then that. they were like skeletons. theyre so sweet theyre like telling me how i am such a good kid and going to do amazing things in life and sophie's grandpa gave me a big hug. it was just like so shocking that they could be totally fine last summer and a year later they look so terrible. but i guess a year is a long time when you're dying. AHH now i'm starting to cry thinking about the whole thing lol. and then seeing them just got me thinking of how much can change in a year and how much i have changed since i was there last summer. a lot has happened to me. i'm still the same person deep down but different in a lot of ways. i was so like.....naive a year ago. i guess i have lost a lot of my innocence you could say. :/
then when we got back from the beach we went out to dinner at this really fancy restaurant w/ my uncle scott's old college friends and some of their kids. i was lost alot during dinner though because they were all discussing like their vacations to the bahamas and investments in $500,000 condos and talking about this person's new girlfriend etc. and i don't really have a lot to contribute to those kind of convos lol. then when we got home that's when the fun began lol 0:)
