In Loving Memory

Yesterday I learned of the tragic death of a girl who I went to school with years ago. She was in my 2nd grade class and was one of the first girls I'd ever had a crush on. I couldn't tell you her favorite color or what her favorite movie was, but I can still remember the freckles on her face. I can remember her sweet voice and perfect smile. Her eyes and how even back then a nice pair of eyes gave me butterflies. I can also remember the absolutely adorable giggle that she'd let slip out when something goofy was said or done. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw her, but the second I saw her name today, all the little things I remembered about her came right back to me.




Rest In Peace, Gina.

maybe this is not the nicest thing to say... but I believe that she is happy and at peace now. I feel sad for her family they suffer the most...

Thank you for your response. :)

I actually believe the same thing. So there's nothing wrong with saying that. And just to clarify, it was a car accident that claimed her life.


I find it really odd (maybe even a bit frustrating) that I finally have something personal to say and write about, but I just can't find the way to write it.
