My friend, Snoopy, was a great person.
I met her years ago. We started our first year of camp together. We were both young counselors ready to take these kids up to camp for a week. These kids were underpriveledged children, and we were non-paid volunteers. We devoted our time, money, and heart into giving these kids a positive experience at camp. We went through over 10 weeks of training for this.
When camp came up, we were scared. But we stuck by one another, the counselors helped one another out, and in the end, we survived. We also did a great job with the kids.
That week was one of the hardest weeks of my life. But my friend Snoopy helped me get through it. She would give me advice and a shoulder to cry on if I needed it....pretty funny since I'm a big guy, and she's a fragile, smaller, angelic lady. But it worked wonders on me.
Then as the years passed, we became better friends. I would see her on campus, and she would stop to eat with me. She would stop to talk to me. She would help me and give me any advice that I needed. She was never too busy for her friends or for her school. She devoted her heart and soul into helping people. Her smile truly made everyone feel the best about themselves. Yeah, she was not a big person, but her hugs made you feel important and made everything seem alright.
Then this happened.
I am not very good at expressing how I feel in words. I am so upset and angry, but so sad and dejected. This is my first experience w/a true friend passing away.
Man, I don't know what to do....
