Writers Block is gone

Sorry I have been sorta MIA. I didn't have internet  and all I wanted to do was blog and now that it's back every time I sit down and hit the "new post" button nothing comes out. I know it's a mixter of a lot of things. My new job, started new classes, spending time with family, and being tired all the time, and none of these are good enough excuses for me. That is why that it is 12:30am and I am finally blogging. :)

Today I am blogging about life and death. I know, I know, this is a post where I'm actually typing and not just posting pictures, it's different from what your used to with me, hope you enjoy. :)

So I went to a great small high school in Central NY, named North Rose Wolcott High School. I loved it, best days of my life. My graduating class was 99 students. I was close with a small group of girls but I was one of those kids that was nice and friends with everyone, I liked it like that. :) There was one particular boy, his name was Brandon Brooks. In high school I talked to him like every one else, however I didn't really "hang" with his crowd and knew I never would.

                                     Tim                Kevin              Brandon               Bryce

So we graduated in 2007 and we all went our separate ways. Brandon wanted to be a sports broadcaster and I wanted to be a photographer. Long story short after I came back from college, Zakk and I got together and we had Hayden. Brandon and I talked once a week about Hayden, life, and our dreams. I looked forward to these talks and enjoyed talking to someone who was so heartfelt and caring.

This is Brandon and his sister. (Taken Nov 1st, 2010)

I still remember our last talk. We talked about how much we loved the penguins in the Madagascar movies. It was in November of 2010. I still can't watch the movie, I've tried and all I do is cry, and it's so hard because one of Hayden's favorite animal is a penguin.

So December 1st, 2010, I went to bed just like every one else that night not knowing that when I woke up my life would never be the same. I remember that day like I am watching a movie of my life. First I started seeing the Facebook posts and texting everyone I was friends with. I remember thinking, "wait this has got to be a joke, I just talked to him not that long ago." Well it was no joke. I didn't cry, I just went about my day.When I finally saw it on the news I was at Zakk's mom's house doing laundry, I broke down. That was my last bit of strength. I just sobbed for hours. It's crazy, I mean we weren't even close but you didn't know Brandon, he was unforgettable.

A year ago(now yesterday). It seems so surreal that one of my friends, my class mates was gone. An angel on Earth was taken way too soon. I believe in God and am not afraid to say so, however I disagree as to why He thought Brandon needed to be taken from Earth.

                                            This is the Brandon I will always remember.

                                              He had such a laugh that was contagious. 

This is how Brandon remains here on Earth. 

I introduced Hayden to him today. :/

He will be forever missed

Not a day goes by where he's not passing through my mind

I love him and miss him. 

I wish he could see how he effected everyone's life.
