One Tough Week

Wow MaKenna, this has been a very, very tough week. You called me crying on Sunday night, from your Commencement Concert performance at Lakeside to tell me that you found out two of your former classmates had died in a horrible car accident earlier that day. I could feel your pain and how shocked and sad you were by all of it. I knew who one of the boys were because you and your cheerleading squad cheered for him while he wrestled - and then his younger brother mentioned that he thought you were 'cute.' (You are cute). But two lives cut so short that it made me think all week long what would I have done if that call came in to me, instead of Zack and Ryan's parents... Kenna I don't know how I would handle the world without your beautiful presence in it...

So you sing at their visitation at Lakeside tomorrow and you go celebrate your other friends' graduation the very next day - life is just bittersweet sometimes.

Then you tell me last night about Steph.... you are a good friend and sometimes you make me think about things and the world that I tend to forget... I really like that about you.

Then you have finals, all stressed out and didn't finish two of them... I was so excited you were getting an A in chemistry too - that is something to be proud of, but now we will have to see.... don't obsess over one problem next time, don't spend twenty minutes on it... move along... why did you have to get my lack of math and science skills.... :)

Well honey, this will be a short post. Let's hope Memorial Weekend goes better than this week did. Lucky for you that you have Cameron to be your shoulder too this week -

Love, mom
