Today, September 20th 2013, I woke up at 6 AM like any other day, got dress up for school, ate breakfast, and got on the car like any other day.
Except today wasn't going to be like any other day, because today at 6: 47 am I recieved a call telling me that a friend of mine just died in the hospital.
I continued my day like it was any other day, I didn't do anything different, I didn't act different, I laugh and I made jokes as always.
After school, I went to my 'job' where I help as a teacher aid for a 1st grade class. Today just so happen to be one boy's birthday. We all finished class early and had cake, songs and candy.
After the party is over I stayed to clean up and help watching over the kids on school whose parents work lata and can't come and get them when classes are over. I stayed around 5 PM. and walk all the way home.
At 6 PM I'm cleaned and dressed up ready to go to the funeral home for the wake. Still I act like nothing is wrong and everything is just fine.
At 6: 30 PM I walked inside, I give my condolences and say reasurring words to his family and people I barely know who also knew my friend.
At 6: 32 PM I saw him and then the reality finally settles in and I realize that was it. I'll never be able to see his face or hear his voice ever again.
He didn't even look dead, he look alive almost as if he was just sleeping and there I stood waiting for him to wake up at any moment.
I stood there, not sheding any tears, trying my hardest not to reach in and touch him, to try and wake him up.
At 7: 00 I'm back home, not wanting to be there anymore.
At 7: 15 I turned on my computer and began writing this.
At 7: 16 I shed my tears.
At 7: 24 I wondered if I should erase this.
At 7: 28 I decided that getting this off my chest is better, even if it is with complete strangers.
At 7:30 I posted this.
