A year ago today… June 3rd

A year ago today I was getting ready for the best day ever-my last day of school. Which was on June 4th- the worst day of my life so far. On June 3rd nothing was different at all because I had absolutely no clue. I remember on June 4th I was having such a fun time at school, little did I know my phone was flooding with mostly the title: did you hear already??? I thought it wasnt important enough to stop mingling with friends so I kept ignoring my phone. Thank God I didn’t find out until at least on the bus. I was getting off at my bus sop and read the worst text message that you could ever recieve: There was a car accident with Makenzie, Caitlin, and Aaron. For some reason my brain wasn’t processing quickly enough and I didn’t even recognize the names (because you never would think that the car accidents you hear about on the news are about your friends.) The person telling me had no clue how many had passed and who was hurt, and ended up telling me the totally wrong info. I called someone I knew knew the story and they told me what really happened, but man let me tell you I was hysterical. I have never dealt with a death of someone so young, and this was just too much for my brain to wrap around. I am SO overly thankful for the blessing of having two beautiful people, Caitlin and Aaron here today. Everything happens for a reason. It’s a blessing to have even known Makenzie.

Thanks for reading,
