The Call

I can remember the day clear as glass. It was a beautiful day, it was filled with happiness, family, laughter and jokes. It was a day that you take a picture put it in a frame and remember it for the rest of your life. It was a day that you think nothing could ruin it. But God had a different plan for you to remember that day. The phone call. The call that you get as your walking in the door pealing off your shoes, as your crawling under the warm sheets still laughing and smiling. The phone rings and the first thought in your head they're calling to say goodnight and they made it home. But the tone is all wrong, it sends chills down your spine, and squeezes the breath out of your body when they say “He didn’t make it, it was an accident.” You drop the phone in disbelief, you have no words. But you run through every emotion like a rollercoaster so fast you can’t slow down to just think or breath. You start with denial “There is no way, I just said goodbye to him!” On to anger “Why is this happening? Why did he do this?” To a shattered heart “I can’t do it without him, I love him, he is my best friend.” You struggle for weeks on how to feel, what’s really happening and what to think. When it finally comes down to laying in bed emotionless, staring into a dark hole with no thoughts and no feelings. When finally a couple of months go by you seem to be getting better, life is getting back to normal but you catch yourself feeling happy again and it angers you. You shouldn’t be happy, your best friend just died, your hurt, your lost. And you go back down the slippery slope you finally finished with. But six months have come and gone, you finally realize they wouldn’t want you to be sad anymore, they don’t want you to suffer or miss out on happiness. They will always watch over you, they are always with you like that small breeze that brushes your face, or the small shimmer of sun that shines through on a cold breezy day or even that small hand on your shoulder you feel. They want to look down and see you laughing, smiling and happy. Because they know when it’s your time they will greet you with a smiling face and open arms. And everything will be perfect again, you will realize it was worth waiting for. You’ll forget the struggle you went through, all the hurt and suffering. It’ll be like your first time meeting all over again. You will laugh, joke and be happy together again. And you will never have to say goodbye ever again. Life will be filled with all of the loved ones that have moved onto heaven.

The hardest thing in life is losing someone you love because everyone needs someone in life to keep them happy, keep them going and just to be there. But we have to remember there are millions of people in this world. There is always someone out there looking for a friend. Don’t be mean or hateful to people, always let them know before they leave how you feel so if anything were to happen you know that they know they are loved and surrounded by people that love them. It will ease the hurt and the heartache. Live like today was your last day.

People tend to get in fights and immediately run away from the situation, or they get hurt so they take off and it’s a fact most accidents happen when your angry so don’t let them leave mad, always say I love you, always make piece and stop that fight no one deserves to die mad, unhappy or sad. Because people blame themselves for accidents there whole life and it does severe damage to a person. No one deserves that.
