Death of a friend – family

Death of a friend . . .

There was a girl that I used to go to school with. I met her when I first came here to Ohio. Her name was Kashanna Crossley. I just found out today that she died of an asthma attack in Chicago over a year ago. Ok, why didn’t anyone tell me this? I had to call my friend Tanisha to ask her if she knew her. Of course she did, we had all gone to school together. sighs asthma attack…….god. She never told me she had asthma through all the time we had known each other.

That makes me wonder about the rest of my friends that I went to school with. Where they are, what they’re up to. Angela, Nona, Heather, Victoria especially. That gets me worried. This is the first time I’ve had a friend die, and yea, even though we hadn’t talked/seen each other in quite some time, you really never expect them to die you know? At least not at the age of only 19. God, that turns my stomach just thinking about that. So I guess I’ll have to ask around and see where she’s buried. The thing that bothers me the most is that no one said anything about it. Its like her death was no big deal, and that really hurts.

Well…on to a more positive note, me and Justin talked 3-way with aunt dee a few days ago. Though she didn’t stay on the phone, it was nice that she got to talk to him. It had been awhile, actually, ever since we first got the house, which was back in November of last year. After she hung up, me and Justin talked, then we got off the phone. So yesterday I think it was, I talked to him online. His laptop wasn’t working so he wasn’t able to get online, but now he can and I’m happy! Though in the middle of talking to him, he signed off and didn’t come back online. shrugswinks at Justin Maybe he fell asleep or something. Not sure. Don’t matter though. I still love him

I intended on dropping off my film at walgreens in springfield. Turns out, they’re machine wasn’t working so I guess I’ll have to get it done some other time. Argghh….I hate that. whines I wanted to see them! Well, I’ll write more tomorrow.

love always,

I have a tattoo for a childhood friend I hadn’t seen in years, but her family is like family to mine. It is an angel surfing, because she used to surf and it has her name “Jade” on it too. She was a widow at 21, when her husband and father of her little girl died of indigestion in the ocean (he also used to surf), and then she died when their daughter was 5. 🙁 My tattoo also represents what her

death meant to me… I dunno I saw pictures of her surfing and just got inspired to be closer to the beach. I was living in NYC at the time, and was kind of coming out of a gothic/punk phase, and it just made me wanna move back home to Florida, so I did, and now I surf. Anyway, totally random story, sorry… lol It’s late and I can’t sleep. Sorry about your old friend. R.I.P.
