So.. Reader. I told you a couple blogs ago that I was going to inform you of my friend Lyndsey.
Lyndsey Dayle Wehrkamp was probably the greatest person I have EVER had the pleasure of meeting. In my whole life. Everything about her is amazing.
I met Lyndsey in the 7th grade. I never really knew her considering she was a grade older than me. And you know.. Back in those middle school days.. You never really talk to 8th graders unless you're like.. ultra cool :) Which I was not :) hahaha. So, 7th grade was a real rough year for me. In middle school it seems as though you're trying to find yourself a lot. And the drama in middle school is inevitable and pointless. Anywho, all my "friends" had decided they no longer wanted to be my friends. Then lunch time came around and again.. you know in middle school. If you don't sit by twenty people at lunch.. You're just considered not cool. Or a loser. Or whatever those kids call it today. So, I got my lunch. Sat at an empty table near a side so it wasn't so completely obvious I was a loser. I sat there and started eating my lunch by myself when all the sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and remember looking at Lyndsey thinking "Man, she is gorgeous. Why is she tapping me on the shoulder?" I looked hesitantly at her thinking she wanted me to move or something. But she put her tray down and asked me "Mind if I sit with you?" I said "Sure." Then she looked at me and said "You can eat with me anytime." After that.. It was like an instant click for us. We ended up exchanging numbers after school that day and we were friends. Just like that. Middle School years passed. High School had begun and I remember texting her about how scared I was to start high school. She told me it was way easier than middle school by far. There was one time I recall I was with her and I was really down on my appearance. Telling her about my insecurities on how fat and ugly I am. She then looked me straight in the eye and said "Kayla, you are so beautiful. And don't let anyone ever tell you different." A few tears were shed that day. Then I'd always tell her about my massive crush on her brother, Bryan. Ahhh, I will declare it to you reader. Bryan WILL be my future husband ;) hahaha! You wish I was joking! I'm not. Hahaha, it just will nevvvvvvvvver happen :/ Anyways, I always told Lynds about my crush on him and her reply.. "Shoot, if he wasn't my brother.. I'd date him!" Typical of her :)
So time went on. Now let's jump to October 31st, 2008. We had school on Halloween.(Personally, I think we shouldn't have school on that day.) She had physical science a period before me. She had it 7th. I had it 8th. We usually met at this old dented locker for a few seconds throughout the day or at the end of the day. Just to say hi and talk for a few before we started texting stories to each other :) So back to October 31st.. She had left her Speech book in Mr. Trout's class. A desk in front of mine. Weird, right? lol. Anyways, she got it. And after science was over. She texted me later that day. She was saying how we were going to go to the park the following week. (By the way, October 31st was a Friday.) Lynds was headed to a cabin with her dad, if I remember correctly, and she was planning on going hunting. But then.. November 1st rolled around. That day I got messages I never thought I'd receive. Lyndsey Dayle Wehrkamp was gone. She was no longer alive. I didn't believe it that day. I thought everyone had the wrong girl. And everyone was just wrong. I mean.. It's Lyndsey. She's not gone. But then the prayer service and funeral service came along. And it all hit me. She was gone. Forever. (From Earth, that is.) It's still hard to swallow to this very day. Because I wish I could just send her a text message or call her or give her a hug. But I can't. Not yet at least. I write to her a lot. On a Facebook wall and also in notebooks I have that help me. I also talk to her mom, Evangel, whenever I can. That lady is AHHHHH-MAZING. I talk to her dad, Scott, every now and then as well. When I get a free moment. Her brother Bryan... flkajsdl;fkjaslkdjflaskdf. Future husband! :) I swear, amazingness just runs in their family. It's insane. I know I won't be able to see her physically right now at the moment and I still have those nights where I get really angry and want her back. I want her back everyday and I think about her a lot but I know I will see her again. In Heaven. Just not today. I miss you Lynds and I love you sooooo much, babe!
