In Memory Of

A beautiful friend of mine passed away.
This whole concept is incredibly confusing.
How am I supposed to feel?
Her life was just beginning. And she was offering a life to her nephew that was better than anyone could give him.
What was God thinking?
Just like that, gone.
Yet, she will live on forever in our hearts, and through the photographs she took. She was beautiful.
-------
I had a few thoughts on the way to school today. These are them. I don't feel like expanding on them right now.
Today is a beautiful day. Only a few more days till my birthday and only a few more till I'm set free, living on my own.
Waiting for the bus is like waiting for the second coming. You know it is, but its a mystery as to when.
Old lady crossing. She must feel like a turtle.
Tattered Rose.
Lady on bus. Positive thinking. Changing reality.
-------
OK, the last one I will expand on.
This lady on the bus this morning was trying to convince her buddy that by believing in something it can come true. That by having a positive attitude, anything can be changed.
It's not true.
By believing that his artery will heal itself, will not make him healthy.
By believing that world hunger will go away, will not make food fall from the sky.
By believing that the homeless will find a life, will not make them millionaires.
By believing that some one's alive, will not bring them to life.
And then you ask, but what is faith?
And I answer you this....
By believing that God has a plan, will make all of the above... believable.
-------
Life is fragile. Make the most of it and smile as much as you can.

In Memory of
