As a senior in high school I lost one of my classmates in a car accident just three months before we were suppose to graduate. He just happened to be my best friends ex-boyfriend and I know she still loved him and wanted to be with him. He was also one of my other good friends, best friend and the day he died was her birthday. I remember going into school that day and finding out and all I could do was cry and just hug my friends. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of his death and just let me tell you I was down the whole day.
I have lost two of my grandparents before so I thought I was prepared with what was to come, but I wasn't. My classmate and I were not close but it was still hard and I hated to see my friends go through what they were going though. Most of my friends have not lost a loved one before so this was really hard for them. I never imagined losing a classmate and I don't want to have to lose one ever again, but I know in the future I will have to deal with this again.
Yesterday morning before I went to school I sent a text message to all my friends and told them to stay strong today and I also told them I thank God everyday to have them as my friends. Since yesterday was a hard day for everyone who knew Dustin I wanted to find a song to help me get through the day. Yesterday I turned to Rascal Flatt's song My Wish. This song just happened to be our class song and I love this song and helped me get through yesterday. The line that stuck out to me the most was" I hope you never look back but you never forget, all the ones who love you and the place you left, I hope you always forgive and you never regret, and you help somebody every chance you get." We can't ever regret what we do because we never know when our last day will be. Dustin and his family had no idea he was going to get in an accident that day and die. It also reminds me to thank everyone who has helped me get through everything I have been through. Yes, we will have hard days in our life but we have to stay strong and just keep living.

It's a shame that tragedy's like this happen. It seems like your a great friend helping others you care about to get through a day that I'm sure is very painful. Remembering to thank God everyday is the best and most important thing you can do.
