Not a good month...

WOW! I haven't posted anything in a month. It doesn't feel like that long. A lot has happened in the past month.. mostly bad stuff though...

1. My friend's baby passed away on October 31st. He was only 2 months old. It was a great shock for all of us. The funeral was very sad. My friend and her husband are getting through it and they know that there are a lot of people that love them and are there for them.
2. My cousin was in a very bad car accident. His friend died at the scene, he was 18 years old. The driver and my cousin were taken to the hospital and my cousin was in serious condition. His head is cut, his brain is bruised and they had to drain the fluid out of his head, his pelvis is broken in the front and the back, his leg is broken and he has numerous bruises and cuts. He is very lucky to be alive. I was/am so worried about him... I saw him on Sunday (the accident happened at 1:00am on Sunday) and I also went in to see him tonight, but he was sleeping so I didn't get to talk to him. I am going in again tomorrow night to see him and give him his gifts that I got him. I was going to just leave them by his bed, but I want to give them to him in person. He will be ok.

These two tragedies have really opened my eyes to how fragile life really is and how we should cherish every moment we have with our family and friends. I don't see my family enough, especially my cousins and I am going to change that.

On a happier note, today is my father's birthday.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! Anyway, I got him a present last night, a dvd, and got home, exhausted, and realized that I didn't have any wrapping paper.. so I made my own wrapping paper and a bow too!... Here is a picture of it... Dad really liked it so I am posting a picture of him holding it (this is for you Shelley... hee hee hee)... As you can see, it has my face, Dad's face, a heart and a birthday cake on it... it almost looks like real wrapping paper!

Hopefully the next month will be better! (But I will post before that!)
