In memory of a old friend......
15 years ago
General
Its way past midnight and I am having a hard time falling asleep. And there is a reason for alot of sleeping problems as of late...........
Within a for days it will be the month of April, and that month has a dark moment in my life. Nine years ago, I lost a good friend of mine and I learned the truth the hard way. I met her at the beginning of the winter of 2000, she was short of two dollars and I offered it to her and she tackle glomp me to the ground and wanted to get married. And that is how we first met and became friends. It was on a monday, April 2001, when there was no school and I was hanging out with my friends at a center near the church. I was pulled aside and was informed that his friend died on saturday from drug overdose. So we basically took him out and did stuff to keep his mind busy and what not. It was when we got back to the center that I learned that the person that died was her, Tessa. The moment I heard that, my entire world stopped and was destroyed on the spot.
It was at that moment that I was experiencing the pain of losing a friend. It wasn't her death that bothers me, it was something that I couldn't do..........
two days later after hearing the news, the principle of our school let the students have the option of going to her funeral that was beginning held. I couldn't go, making up the excuse that I had alot of assignments to catch up. But in truth, I didn't want to go because if I did, then I would have to accept the fact that she really is gone. At that moment,I didn't want to believe and like on that day, I hid myself and balled my eyes out.
That is one of the few regrets of my life, and I know I more or less deserve it for being a coward...............
Since then I have been dealing with this feeling and still searching of where she is buried. Even if I don't find it, I will still look for it.
In a bit, I will post a fic that I wrote a few weeks after that time which is a memorial; if anyone out there is even looking at my page ^^u

May she rest in the arms of the Lord. And by the way, what you did does not make you a coward.

Oh honey, I am so sorry for you great lost. What a grand heartbreaking ordeal it must have been. -Hugs you firmly and gently- This reminds me of my Great-Uncle Dennis when he passed away. Though I was a bit of a brat to him when I was a child, I still loved him and my only regret in my young life was never having the chance to say I'm sorry and I love him. Rest in peace, Uncle Dennis and Tessa. I'll pray for you both.

-Hugs you close and kisses your cheek- Be happy that Tessa is finally home with God, living in soothing peace forever. I'm sure she wouldn't want you mooping about because of her death and would want you to be happy as she is in heaven.

-Stops her trying words of comfort and simply hugs you, knowing that giving comfort is better than saying comfort-

Thank you and I believe what you are saying and Demitri as well; just that I feel that only regret that I could not simply visit her on her funeral because of my fear.........

I bet if nothing else, she's forgiven you with what you did. As you loved her in life, so shall she love and forgive you in death. I'm sure she's in heaven louging on the clouds, thinking about the happy moments of her life that she shared with family and friends and maybe more about you, knowing how much you must miss her right now and happy that you cared for her so much in her lifetime.
