Profile Information:

About Me:: I am 16 and I'm a junior in high school. I love music; I sing, and I play guitar and piano. Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
About my Loss:: On August 4, 2009, I lost my good friend Tyler to an activity called the "Choking Game." He was 16 years old. Then, on December 3, 2010, his mother Tina was murdered. Tina was my mother's best friend, and she was like a second mother to me. Just recently, January 28, 2012, my Papa Howard passed away. He was 96, and even though he lived a long, full life, and I knew it was coming, it still hurts. All of this has been really hard to deal with.

I am no psychiatrist but mine told me something simple that surprised me. Most of us avoid sorrow, avoid experiencing it; its not something we want or want to admit is there. Its something each of us as individuals must adapt to and process and that for now, I believe is our test. Trying to figure out how to incorporate it in our day to day lives and not deny its existence; that can be even more emotionally exhausting! I hope there is joy around the corner for you darling!
