I got some sad news on Tuesday Night:(:(:(

Hello fellow bloggers!! I'm so sorry that I haven't put any new posts up in a while. It's just that so much bad news has piled up in the last little while that I kind of had to put my blog on the back burner for a while. Anyway, I won't do that again, I promise. I should stop getting off topic and get to the point. I got some very sad news on Tuesday night that my close family friend had passed away a couple days ago. It was very hard for me to try and absorb the sad news of his passing and I am still trying to absorb it. His passing was very sudden (like Richard's passing). I went to my family friend's service last night and it was very comforting to just be around people that knew him for what he was, a kind, genuine loving person. I will miss him very much.

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween:)

It has been one week today since Richard passed away...

Hello fellow bloggers, it has been one week today since my close friend Richard passed away. I thought it would nice if I posted an entry in his honor. This past week of school has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions, and it's nice to know that I have a long relaxing weekend ahead of me. I hope everyone is planning to have turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie this weekend yum...turkey and pumpkin pie gives me warm thoughts of when my family and I used to go to my Grandma's house for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we don't go anymore since she passed away. I have lost a lot of people in my lifetime so it was hard for me to lose Richard as well. It has been a couple years since my Grandma passed away I think and it was very hard for me to lose her, because I was so close to her, she was like my best friend and I don't think I've fully accepted that she is gone. I think about her all the time even sometimes in my sleep, and I couldn't sleep the first night that I found out Richard had passed away because I was afraid I wouldn't wake up in the morning, but my mom told me that I don't have the same problems as Richard had. Your comments are very much appreciated:)

Last night was my first time going to VOCYL (Victoria Opportunities for Community Youth Leadership)

Last night was my first time going to VOCYL (Victoria Opportunities for Community Youth Leadership) The group gives youth with special needs the chance to develop leadership skills in and around our community with the goal of promoting community inclusion. I don't know much about the group since it was my first time going, but it sounds like a blast and it will probably get my mind off of things going on at school. On Wednesday I met my PSW (Personal Support Worker) Megan, who will be starting to work with me next week and she will be picking me up from school with my van a couple days out of the week and we will be hanging out going places, and so that as well should keep my mind off of the things going on at school. So it should be a fun week next week. Keep commenting as often as you'd like:)

Today was another struggle to get through:(

Today was an up and down day for me. One minute I would be smiling and laughing about something and then the next minute I would remember that Richard is gone and be sad again because I'm still trying to accept the fact that he is gone and he actually isn't coming back, and that is a very hard thing for me to do. I'm probably going to have up and down days like today for the rest of this week and into next week and probably into next month. I know, I sound crazy but that is just how I feel. So expect to see me just venting until I get over this. You know how some people get over the grieving process very quickly and just move on with thier life? Well that's not me, this grieving process is probably going to take months for me to get over. I'm just going to take each day as it comes and I meant what I said before, this grieving process is going to take months for me to get over, but that is ok because there is no time limit when you are grieving for someone, especially when it is a friend that you are grieving for. I have a very good support system at school and at home and I know who to go to when I'm going through the grieving process at school and at home to. I know that Richard is in a good place now. I believe Richard is a beautiful angel now. I Miss You Buddy:( Your comments are always appreciated:)

Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life:(

Yesterday morning my mom got one of the worst phone calls you could ever recieve. The phone call was from my friends' mom. My friends' mom told my mom that my close friend Richard had passed away over the weekend. I was both shocked and devastated when my mom got off of the phone and told me. I wasn't sure what to think, I thought I was having a very bad nightmare and that I would soon wake up from it, but no, this was real life. His passing actually happened. I think I took the news very hard, and then when I got to school it was very hard to break the news to people who hadn't heard of his passing. But my teacher knew before I got to school beacuse Richard's mom had phoned her. The things I will miss the most about Richard are his huge smile lighting up a room wherever he went, Ciarra and I spending the lunch hour with him in our Pre-Employment class, just having a good conversation with him, telling jokes and laughing about them after, hearing him talk about skateboarding, and just being around him. Richard, you will be truly missed throughout your school community and beyond. I will never ever forget you. I Miss You Buddy:(
