Shawn

Hey everyone, I know that I haven't wrote in awhile things have been tramatic lately here for me. On Monday of this last week was somewhat of a good day. Kaitlyn and I ran through the sprinklers at the park sponatiously when it was dark. When we came home we were laughing and having a great time. I got in the shower and then she did. Well then I heard police sirens. I didn't think a thing of it because you hear it all the time. Not until Mary Jane said that they were driving down our road. We ran outside and saw it go down a road. The first thing I thought of was Pat Bratan. But it wasn't it was much worse. Sorry this is hard for me to write. My friend Shawn had tried to commit suicide. When I found that out my whole day came crashing down I was sobbing and called my friend Chelsey who cried too. Kaitlyn cried hard too when she found out. I couldn't sleep that night everytime I closed my eyes i thought of him.

Well, I woke up the next morning and my friend Chelsey and her mom came over to see me. I found out that he was life flighted to Primary Childrens Hospital at 2 and he was on life support. At the time that was all I knew and I was okay with that. About an hour later I talked to Mary Jane who didn't sound very happy. Gosh this is hard. Shawn had past away that morning. I broke down, Kaitlyn, Chelsey, Emily, and I broke down. I couldn't believe it. Still I can't believe it.

Chelseys mom had some great ideas for us to do. A way to grief. Shawn and I were close friends and I loved him like family. So we bought a football that we would all signed and we were going to give it to his mom. We bought a teddy bear for Spencer the brother, and we also wrote letters to the family. At mutal that night we talked about Shawn and cried. I cried all day. We also decorated the neighborhood with yellow ballons and ribbons.

Before that though we wrote notes to Shawn and but them in balloons to send to him. Well, the pictures speak for themselves.
