• For anyone and everyone.

  So, this past school year, school was my life, besides church. Even God kind of took second place, and that wasn't supposed to happen. Well, He sure did His work and got me on track with that, but still, school was pretty much the rest of my life.

  Then graduation. Busy, preparations, parties (clean ones, not bad), ceremonies, presents, speeches, friends, leaving, separation, tears, joy, sorrow, new chapter. Not caring so much because church friends are really the ones that matter. And those ones, you get to see forever, right?

  Church grad. Amazing! Wonderful dinner, good times (oh how I don't like that saying, but it fits). Many, many memories from church grad night.

  Trip to Idaho with Leah. A blast. New baby cousin, adorable. Everything's going along, kind of backing off with things, getting lazy, enjoying it.

  Life is good.

  Shopping, baseball, fun, BANG-whole world is turned upside-down.

  Shocking phone call, tears, frustration, prayers, tears, talking, hugging, crying. Suddenly, your forever friend, who you are supposed to grow old with, share memories with, go to coffee with, do everything with, is gone, completely gone from this world.

  Acceptance in a sense, peace even, but memories never made, thoughts never uttered, experiences never shared, things left hanging.

  Hanging out with the usual people. Trying to decide where to eat. Having fun, but something, someone, is missing. A huge hole is open. No one knows what to do to mend it. Nothing seems important anymore besides God and making sure that relationship is a good one.

  Prayers, tears, hugging, songs, long talks, more tears.

  The only thing holding the broken strings together is God, and the peace in knowing "Everything's all right."

  "Just think of stepping on shore..."
