How Long Will They Mourn Me?

Death is a scary thing to think about. No one wants to lose someone they love or know. The pain from grief and mourning someone is the worst pain you can feel. You feel empty, alone, confused, angry, and so much more. "I wish it could've been another. How long will they mourn my brother?" This is something I ask myself all the time. Why do people lose to me have to be taken. It's hard to accept but it makes you stronger. Knowing that person gets to watch over you until you meet again is the best feeling ever.

This year past summer two people were taken away from this world. One was Issaac Smith. It was a sad time because Issaac was murdered 5 days before graduation. It was June 16th, 2013 the night of Father’s Day. It took everyone by surprise. Issaac was the boy in school that everyone loved. He just had a smile that made you smile. I was not his best friend but we had a bond. We both ran track. Every time I would prepare for the high jump he would be right there to cheer me on. It’s the simple things I remember.
