Mother of the Fallen...

[neo_rufus]

Forgive me this might not sound like me, but I had a very bad day today. But that's another story. As I was walking to the Bermuda College Student Hall I ran into the mother of the best friend of the late Shellee Smith. If you recall she sadly passed away on September 23, 2005.

I think you probably are being held back to some extent. I mean, you've got nothing to gain from the conversation other than pouring salt in your wound. It sucks, because you most definetely need to call her. Look at it like this, any sort of coping you have managed to do with Shellee's loss her mother hasn't. And that's gonna take a WHILE, provided her mother will never be the same again. I think she wants to talk to you because she needs your help. She probably wants to hear about her daughter from you, and judging from the list of things Shellee taught you, you definetely know a bit about Shellee. 2 months seems like an eternity when Shellee's mother's mind, i'd imagine, hasn't stopped going since that tragic, fucked up day. Maybe your strength and what Shellee ment to you could be exactly what Shellee's mom could use and hear right now.

These are just some thoughts, man. I have no clue what I'm talking about! :)

Perhaps the mother does want to reflect on my thoughs of her late daughter. Not to mention two months still does feel like an eternity for her. I have a musch better understanding of what I am going to say. Thank you man...I needed that.

Oh and you do know what you talking about...more then you know!

My grandma has kept in touch with my uncle's friends since he died. I think it's because it's a part of him that he left behind. She likes sharing memories and exchanging stories about my uncle with them. It's therapeutic for her, I guess. Don't know if that helps at all.

I find it awsme how your family does keep in touch despite the sadness they sometimes feel. But your story did help. Now I better understand the reason about making the call...thank you so much friend.
