so i had thought, just the other day, about how i wanted to use this journal to type good things...happy and fun things...because i dont want this to become too much of a complaint forum. unfortunately thats not going to happen this entry....i got some really horrible news yesterday.
i have this best friend. his name is Andy and i have known him since i was 15...and ten years is a good long time. i have known him longer than any on my current friends and he has always been there for me. he was the first person that i told when i found out i was getting married. he would have been my maid of honor if he had been a girl (but i still offered it to him anyways). he was the first person to know when i was pregnant...before anyone else. and i just talked to him on tuesday night around 11:00 pm. i told him about how i was coming up to massachusettes to see him and family with reese in febreuary...and he wanted so much to pick us up at the airport. he was so excited about it!
and then his sister called me yesterday morning...about 2 hours after i talked to him on tuesday night his house caught fire. he was the only one there...and the only victim of that fire. he didnt make it out.
right now i am still a little numb...i spent all yesterday just shaking and crying...i was able to control my emotions a bit better today and go to work. but tomorrow i fly up to massachusettes for him memorial on monday....this all just sucks...i would much rather have the flu for the rest of my life...or lose all of my limbs...or anything other than this. and its hard to think that i was the last person to talk to him. i dont know. i will write more when i get back on tuesday.
