My crafty side coming out

It has been an extremely long time since I have posted anything on here so I though it was about time. I recently made a little memorial thing for my grandpa that passed away on St. Patrick's Day this year. I'm sorry the picture is small and you can't see all the details but pretty much it is just a picture of my grandpa with my cousin and myself sitting on his lap. In the middle of the page is the prayer card and the bottom piece of paper is the obituary. It's framed so I can hang it in my room. I will have another one on the way because unfortunately my other grandpa passed away just about a month ago.


On a different note...I came across a poem I wrote last year sometime and I thought I would share it on here and see what everyone thinks of it.

We once were close or at least I thought so,

Now things have changed and I am nothing to you.

I've shed my tears and I've felt the pain,

Now all that's left is to end this thing.

I've made the scars and now I'll remember

All the things we've been through and all the times we had together.

Our friendship meant the world to me,

And it seemed like nothing to you.

I thought I finally found someone to say is my best friend,

But I guess it was completely untrue.

I'm sorry for everything I have ever done to hurt you,

But this time I'm sticking up for me and saying good-bye to you.

My Best Friend!

Every single day I ask myself how I can be so blessed with the people that have opened their hearts and allowed to be a part of their lives. I have found the greatest best friend that could ever exist in this world. We have only known each other for just over a year and a half and I question how I could have lived without her in my life before meeting her. Starting college was a scary experience...my first time living on my own, my first taking care of myself completely, my first time not having to worry about rules and so many other firsts. It was also the first time that a friend entered my life and I knew that we had to be friends until the very end. My first year of college was very memorable with Madde by my side through absolutely everything that ever happened. After the school year we both went back to our hometowns and unfortunately they are about two and a half hours away from one another. The summer wouldn't have been so horrible if we were both going to the same college for our second year but sadly that wasn't the case. She decided to stay closer to home as I went back to the University where everything reminded me of something that Madde and I had done the previous year. At first it was really tough because Madde was not there when I needed her but as time went by things got better. Thank goodness for the invention of instant messaging because without it I would have been completely lost. There were times throughout the year that things were really hard for us and the distance was taking a toll on a friendship that we thought could survive anything and everything. Thankfully the friendship has survived the extremely hard times we had and it is stronger then I could have ever wished for.

She is a friend that could never be replaced and I am so thankful I have her in my life. She is unbelievable, she is always there for me no matter what happens and that is one thing that I need so much in a friendship. Without her I wouldn't be who I am today. Thank you so much for being my best friend Madde!
