In Memory of...



Today we have recieved some terrible news. My cousin, Andy, has been killed in a car accident. My heart go out to his family during this difficult time. As I was told what happened, all I could think about was his family, and all the memories growing up with him. I can't even imagine how his twin sister is taking it. The twin bond is (as I've been told) one of the closest bonds two people can really have.

One particular memory that stands out was a general one. Whenever we (myself and either one or all of my sisters) would come and visit them in their small village of Oxbow, we would go downstairs and play games with them. I specifically remember playing Sonic on their Nintendo (at least thats what i think it was). I don't know why this memory stands out at this time, but I do know that those were some really great times with the Stenbergs. The last time I saw him was at the hospital, on Grandpa's birthday. I remember thinking, how did he get so tall?! He certainly had grown up without me even seeing, and now he is gone. Goodbye Andy. Thank you for some memories that will always be with me. I know that you are in a better place, and until we meet again...

Ginger, Your love shines through for your cousin. I love the music and pictures. Krystal was kind enough to add pixs to my blog. Thank you for spending Sunday with me. I had no idea that I would need you as I did. It would have been so hard to be alone.
