What to say.......

I don't really know what I want to say today..... How do you appreciate what you have? I've always been a thankful person, but God has really blessed my life and I've started to take things for granted... I dunno..........

I wanted to post a couple of things about my friend that died....

I wrote this little something in English class the day I found out.....

Daniel Duncan~ March 8, 1990- September 3, 2008
Daniel was a great friend. We had been friends since infancy and growing up had even called each other future husband and wife. I regret not being as close to him as we got older but we lived far away from each other and keeping in contact wasn't easy. I guess I thought he would always be around and we would always be friends. Last night he was riging his bike and was hit by a drunk driver, and suddenly my friend is gone.... Just like that, the reckless decision of someone to drive while drunk stole the life of an 18-year-old boy.


At his funeral there was a program thing but there was also a little card that said In Memory... On the inside left, below his picture, were these words:

Isaiah 57

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.

Those who walk upright enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.


I think when someone dies we mourn for ourselves. I'm not sorry that Daniel is in heaven, worshiping God as he would want to. I'm sorry because I've lost my opportunity to know even more about this great guy.

As I listened to people talk as his funeral I realized that EVERYTHING I had ever asked for in a guy was found in the guy I had jokingly called my future husband my whole life. And now he's gone. forever just like that......
