The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

It has been a while since I wrote in here....but I've had some terrible news....a very good friend of mine was found dead Wednesday morning. Her name was Joy and she was a joy. I knew her since we were in 1st grade together. I can remember all of the times she spent the night with me and I her as we grew up and all the fun things we done together. Then I can remember our High School days.....ones were people were cruel to her because she was different. She never got invited to all of the parties or any of the social events just because she was different. As for as me....well at that time I was the one who fit it. I was the Beta club, Band member, the one who got those invitations. I can remember that day we we sitting in class by each other and Cindy, the captain of the cheerleaders, came over to hand me her birthday invitation and then walked on off. The look on Joy's face was dramatic. For the first time I could feel the pain....I turned and tore up the invitation right in front of her and said, "hey we already had plans, didn't we?". It was a big turning point it my life. It made me realize more that it is Ok to be different. It doesn't matter what others really think of you. As long as your happy with yourself and you have those, like Joy, that love you then screw those others.



Although through the years of adulthood, Joy and I have not seen each other as much as we could have, I have felt like a big portion of my heart as died along with her. Last night I laid awake reliving all the years we had together, cried, smile and laughed. I'm going to really miss her. However, I would not give anything for the years I did know her, she taught me how to live and I love her with all my heart.
