I haven't seen much less talked to Trent in probably twelve years. After elementary school we hung out with different groups of friends and just went our separate ways. But, regardless of how much time has past, this day is not any less sad. When I think back to the days when Trent and I were friends, I remember him, Coche, Clint, Dustin, and Josh on the playground playing kickball. I remember long afternoon talks to the phone with him. I even remember that his name was scribbled on numerous pages of my diary because I thought he was sooo cute.
The MJHS c/o 2002 has seen many lives lost. If I'm not mistaken, Trent is the sixth classmate to whom we've had to say goodbye. The classes of '01 and '03 have lost several dear friends as well. From Gary to Sarah to Trent and the others in between, we have not forgotten. Each and every day they are greatly missed by their families, friends, and acquaintances. Their memories continue to live on. It's hard to imagine that these lives had to come to an end. That the plan for their beings were for them to leave this earth at such a young age. I know we shouldn't question life and why things happen the way they do, but that's easier said than done in times like these. No one ever said tomorrow is promised to be here, but we still take it for granted. We just expect to see our friends and family the next day. We expect things to be the way they always are and for things to never change.
So today, tell those that you love and hold dear to your heart how you feel. Hug their necks if they are nearby. Give them a call to say hi. Laugh with them. Remember the good times. Make more memories. Take pictures. Cherish the time that you do have because you never know when that is the last time.
This blog is dedicated to all of my family, friends, acquaintances, and blog-followers-- Thank you for being someone special in my life. I feel extremely honored to be surrounded by such amazing people!! My life becomes richer each and every day because of the people I meet and build relationships with. I have loved. I have been loved. I have seen and experienced things that people only dream about. I am truly blessed. So, if I don't see tomorrow, I hope you all know how much I care about you. Thank you for the lessons learned and the memories created. I love you and will always cherish the times we've shared together.
