In Memory of Caleb Cowan Buck 2/3/98- 1/24/12

I was introduced to Caleb, I believe, in August this past year when my friend Adam brought him over before a football game one night. We hung out and talked, us and a few friends. He was super awesome and funny and adorable. Just a really cool guy. I didn't see him again after that until the Collard Festival in  early September where we ran into each other again and hung out for the day there.

I hadn't seen him since then and I've only talked to him a couple times.
Last Tuesday I found out from friends that the previous day he decided to hang himself because he was being picked on a lot by kids at school and stuff. People saying he was gay or stupid stuff like that that made him believe that his life wasn't worth living anymore.

His family found him and took him to the hospital where he was in a coma for about a day. He came out of it, still unresponsive. The doctors gave him 2 days to live. His brain was swelling and there was a VERY slim chance that he would make it in any stable conditions. So they took him off of life support Tuesday afternoon.

I only met him a couple times but he was so awesome. It was really hard for me to lose someone like that. I have never really lost anyone that I was friends with like that. I spent a lot of time crying. 

It was definitely not an easy thing to go through, and I can only imagine what his family was/is going through.

Me and Gina went to the viewing on Saturday and hugged a bunch of people and cried some more. He looked so different laying in the casket. I didn't expect him to look like that. outside of the room they had a slideshow of pictures from different times of his life playing on a computer with music in the backround. It was really sweet and I stood there and cried as I watched his smile light up the screen. 

Farewell Caleb.

You are sorely missed.

Hope to see you again someday.

This is for Aaron

Hello World!!!
My blog has not been updated for sometime and I'm at the bottom of Aaron Sebright's blog list.. Which is entirely unacceptable!!
Soo... What's new?
New classes! That's always fun.
We have been doing Family Search Indexing at mutual the past few weeks which has been immensely fun learning about a bunch of awesome people that lived a long time ago. It is really super fun.

I GAVE BLOOD!!!! I gave blood in December and....... I PASSED OUT!!!! It was so crazy!!! It is really trippy cause I watched the needle go in and I was doing great. It was running very smoothly and All of the sudden I saw WHITE!!! and the next thing I remember there was a bunch of people standing around me calling my name. SO weird! But I was laying down and it was okay. I had ALMOST given an entire pint though!! And they couldn't use or test it so my loss of blood was no good to anyone especially me. :/

Random Fact though: I had always wondered what it would be like to pass out.... but not in a weird I really want to pass out kind of way.. just curiosity.

I think I will end here. YOU ARE SOO AMAZING!!!!!

Me Father and Sister on New Years Eve! SPARKLING CIDER!!! WOOT!

Don't go to parties that alcohol or drugs are invited to... But Party Hard!!!

<3 All my love,
