We stood on the edge of eternity, we three. Holding hands, holding our breath, holding on to the memories that would be all we had left in the years to come

Thanks Corey! And no, I haven't quite finished school yet, but last night felt like the first true indicator that we would be. We went back to our old middle school for a speech night because some of the kids that our old English teacher has now were doing speeches about us. Mr. Carney's class was that one defining class, the class where you learn more than you ever thought possible and grow to know yourself in a way you never imagined. There are so many memories in those hallways...

whoa yes, carney was amazing. he has leukemia, though. poor guy.

i always looked forward to the days when he would tell the class all about *my* achievements. he's probably the reason i wanted so badly to succeed in high school. hmm...i wonder whether or not he knows that.

anyway i agree, carney was super.

He was incredible. It makes me so sad that my little sister won't get him =(

Still, I'm just hoping he gets better. I won't ask for anything more from him, just that his leukemia goes into remission.

I had the displeasure of being the one to tell Golak. It was March, and she still had no idea. She dropped her purse in the middle of the street and couldn't move for a while. The intensity of her grief scared me a bit, since I've never been all too comfortable with emotions myself.
