Break is over and we went back to school Monday. Really wasn't that bad. Kinda mad Tech won.. even though I really should have been rooting for him since I live like 30 minutes away from Tech and since my family likes Tech, but I'm a Louisvillie fan now. My cousins live there and we went on a trip together right before the game, and she got me liking them!
On New Years Eve, there were 3 boys in Craig that were drunk and were driving in on of the boy, Josh's, new mustang he got for Christmas. A deer ran out in front of the car and he swerved and hit a tree going 130. It split the car in half. Josh, the driver, got killed on impact. Chris (a junior at my school) was put into critical care, along with his brother, Michael. Chris lived for a day, but died yesterday. Michael is still in critical condition and if he survives he will be paralyzed.
I didn't know Chris that well, but Michael was in my math class last year and was a nice guy. But, I was reading all of the comments that people have left on Chris' myspace about how much he will be missed and stuff, and it really made me think about how much I take for granted. I will admit, I am pretty spoiled, my parents get me A LOT, and sometimes I think that I don't appreciate what I am given and what I have. I have a family that loves me and friends that love me. I do well in school, play sports, have a horse, have a job.. and yet, sometimes I question how happy I am. And thats when I realize I need to get over myself and be happy with what I am given and the fact that I am here and that I am as fortunate as I am.
I also take my friends for granted sometimes. I honestly do not know what I would do without them. Yeah, girls will get in fights now and then, but no matter how many fights we get in, I will always be there for my friends, and I know they will always be there for me. Also, you need to remember that your friends will ALWAYS be there for you, in the long run, you're high school sweetheart won't. Sure, you can spend a good amount of your time with that person, but you also need to remember who your true friends are and who will be there in the end.
RIP Christopher Dewease
