What can I say....these days aren't getting any easier. When I'm around people, it's ok, I don't think so much...But the moment I get home and have a moment or two to reflect, it hits me. Tonight was senior awards night at CT ... thanks to Mike Sotostky, and the Cruisin', we were able give two scholarships tonight in Courtney's name. I refused to think about it much cause it was going to be hard enough...but wow, watching all her friends and classmates stand up and receive awards was harder than I thought. I couldn't help but wander, What would Courtney be like, would she have gotten any scholarships? would she have won any awards? what would she be interested in crime scene investigation? or would she have gone back to wanting to pursue marine biology? She even mentioned teaching at one point, maybe she would have pursued music.....Mrs. G was a great influence on her.
(as I'm writing this my Pugg, is getting beat up by my cat, Mojo, and he doesn't even have claws...geeze)
anyway....Courtney won't be with the class of 2008 as they graduate this year, at least not in human form, but I wish nothing but the best for all of them. I hope that as they all move forward, every once in a while they stop and remember Courtney. Even those who didn't know her so well, or those who didn't even like her, maybe just maybe they will see an orange butterfly, a flower or a beautiful sunset and think of her and smile.
I do want to say CONGRATULATIONS to all the seniors tonight at the awards ceremony, the class of 2008 has certainly accomplished a lot and they have so much to be proud of and we are all proud of you too!!
ok....now I'm just rambling and it's late so I will sign off now.
Much Love ~Anita
