Life as it comes

I don't really know why I decided to delete my blog in the first place. Seems kinda like a dumb idea, because I really liked having one.
So, I start over.
I have been talking to this girl who was in my PALS class, and I love her to death. This morning, I went in for a Hawk Talk Meeting and she was talking to our teacher, Crying. Not understanding but knowing something was wrong, I debated walking over there; trying to get my assignment, instructions, and get out quickly. But as I approached the desk, the tone in her voice made me think back to the tones I have heard those 2 empty times in my life. The tone of Death. I listened, after asking if it was alright. She was sad, and broken. Telling me that her cousin committed suicide, I quickly told her of my experiences with my friend Seth. How I couldn't be there. She told me that she couldn't go to the funeral because it was too upsetting for her. I just recommended this book that Jamie gave me today called, DO HARD THINGS. Im not even sure myself what all it is about, but I am sure it might help. Whether she takes it or not is her decision. But I gave her my phone number and she has been talking to me. I think there was something telling me that I made the right decision. I'm glad I chose to walk into the room at that time, no matter how big of a hurry I was in. She needed someone in her life that cared, and someone who knew her situation. Sure, people can tell you, "I'm sorry. Everything will be okay." But that is not how you feel at the time, and definitely not what you want to hear. I hope she was okay with what I had to tell her, and got something out of it. Things happen and you can't escape them. But you can learn to accept it and move on, and greive in your own way. I hope she will be okay.
