Well today sucks.
I woke up this morning to hear that my next door neighbor and very good family friend passed away from a heart attack. He died before the ambulance even got here, even. His son, who's now 20, has practically nowhere to go, and is really having trouble dealing with it. Even worse, his 13 year old daughter has been at a camp in San Diego for a week, and is being brought back as we speak. What a horrible situation for her, not seeing her dad for a week and then this. But I think worst of all, my mom's best friend, a woman I've known since I was in diapers, was going to marry him. They were engaged, planning the wedding and everything. She's so heartbroken, it's hard for me to think about without crying myself.
I've known my neigbor and his family for 8 years, since I moved in. I've got a lot of memories with them. It's sad to think I'll never see him again, and rarely get to see his kids who I got to know very well growing up.
This is hard to write.
