Don't Forget...

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me".
with tearful eyes we watched you , and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay...
A gold heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

It's been a week. A week since everything has happened. I'm not going to go into detail but basically a guy named Kendall Jerrod Cressman died last Sunday. Gosh. I can't believe it still to this day. I've written some stuff on his wall. Like the follwing.

"you always were cracking jokes.. and lately things have been rough before i even found out. you always made everyone smile. i could really use a smile right now.. i'll be there friday.. "
(Friday was the funeral..)

"today was so hard.. i didn't even know what to do.. i never thought i could experience the same pain i felt at lyndseys funeral but i did.. it all came back today though.. seeing you today laying there unresponsive seemed so unreal or maybe it was too real.. i don't know.. but all i know is you didn't want to leave.. just like lyndsey.. you should be here.. your smile is forever engraved in my memory.. please comfort lyndsey up there, crack a joke and make her smile.. miss you.."

"two days ago, i was at your house. we all told stories about you. i told everyone about the story of your face. remember i'd always glance over at you? well.. you never caught on to the fact that i thought you were insanely cute. yet you were so convinced there was something on your face. you thought i'd lie to you everytime i told you nothing was there. :P you and lyndsey be with everyone today at graduation.. i miss you guys.. and by the way, i know i always told you Yankees were better than the Twins but now i'll be paying more attention to the Twins. just for you."

We all went to a candlelight vigil Friday night. And gosh.. little Calvin. He is so adorable. He looks just like Kendall. Kendall's mom is the sweetest lady ever. His whole family is. Kendall and I weren't great friends. But we had little memories together. We used to argue about baseball because he was a die hard Twins fan while I was a Yankees fan. He loved pandas so I would always bring up koala bears and how they were so much cuter. He loved apples and would take the apple stickers off and stick them in the most random places. He stuck one on the back of his moms ipod. And she still has it there. I had the biggest crush on Kendall and like I said in the story above.. he always thought there was something on his face even though there never was. He was so sweet to everyone and always was giving people hugs and making them smile. And now.. today is graduation. And him along with Lyndsey will not be graduating and it breaks my heart because both of them should be.. neither of them wanted to leave.. and i wish more than anything that they were here and could come back.


"I never thought I could experience the pain I once felt at Lyndsey's funeral ever again.. however, that happened again today.. your smile is forever engraved in my mind Kendall Jerrod Cressman. Panda bears, apples and baseball just won't be the same.."

We thought about you with love today. But that's nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too.
We think of you in silence. We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake. With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart.
