we're all at the age of acknowledgement of death and the realization it happens every second, not necessarily to someone we know and love but it happens; i can shake hands with that. ive always had (morbidly so) in the back of my mind the thought of which of my girls would be the first to go and goddamn if it didnt have to be a favorite..itd have been easier to be me, needlessly to say.
sally slaughter died in a car accident on 280 last night. i thought i had escaped 2009 with not a nary drop of evil ass 2008 creeping up...it waited until the last goddamn second, but there it was, the irony of my life - you thought you made it through this year, well just wait, youve got a few more hours of it to go, hardy har har. usually, i get a good chuckle out of such things and how they all line up and get dished out to me...this one is so far from ever going to be funny in any way shape or form. id take the entirity of evil ass 2008 in trifold force if i could just trade it out for the last few hours of last night. cheesy fucking heartbreaking truths coming out of my mouth.
i love that girl. she is one of the true selfless people i have ever met in my life. no matter where she was with her own self and her own life, if any of her friends and family needed her, in the biggest or smallest way, she dropped it all and put her shit on hold and fucking friended up. countless times ive seen that girl sit at the hospital with her loved ones, for months, if not an entire fucking year; seen her be at my own door step at butt ass am in the morning bc i had a broken heart or just a bad night; seen her race up to whoevers rescue time and time again.....and not bc she needed someone to need her or bc she needed somewhere to be or somethign to do, bc she honestly has that fucking much empathy in her. sally was beautiful outside and even more so inside. if you got the chance to know her, fucking own that shit bc she is truely one of those creatures that has something so entirely special about her that you dont get that chance more than a few times in your own life to see in action.
sarah stanfield, loves youse.
