it's november again. . .

i never really look forward to november i haven't for a long time now. it gets cold....everything is so blah...and every november 15th i am reminded of a friend that i lost who would be one year older if he was still around. i can't believe it has been 6 years....
now this november i am reminded of not only one person i've lost but three. there are three birthdays in november of people that i knew who are not here to celebrate being a year older... do they celebrate wherever they are now? do they even know its their birthday or even have a birthday there? do they know we are here thinking about them...
anyways...i hate november...i hate cold weather....i always feel so depressed this time of the year...and will continue to feel this way until like february...winter puts me down...(note to self: : move somewhere warmer..SOON)

RIP

It's weird how you grow up with someone and never once in your mind do you ever consider them doing something so terrible.
I remember when we were little playing in my backyard he pushed me down and i cut my face all up and I told on him and he said that i tripped. LIAR! hehe I also remember i used to really look up to him, since he was older then me i thought he was so cool. I used to wear a ring around (i still have it) and say that I was married to Jeremy. Ha! My mom would always say.. Melissa you can't, he's your cousin!
Anyways... i haven't really talked to jeremy for a few years.. we grew up and went our seperate ways...but never at anytime did I have any doubt that one day our kids wouldn't be playing together...And so on... It's so weird how things change.... I guess i just take things for granted, things that you just always "assume" will be there. But one day you wake up and there gone. I just don't understand how life works. You live your life and you have death to look forward to? Does that make any sense? and why don't we know when its going to happen? If we knew, atleast things wouldn't be left unsaid or left undone......i just don't understand why life works this way....
They say..."Everything happens for a reason." What's the reason?

RIP
