"An angel got her wings.."

"...And we'll hold our heads up knowing that she's fine.We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.Friends stay side by side,In life and death you've always stole my heart,You'll always mean so much to me, it's hard to believe this..."

Yesterday my whole school was gathered in the gym.
Teachers surrounded OUR class.
We were thinking the next 9/11
another talk about myspace
then the thought of our friend Erinn crossed our mind, but no, she was fine.
Wrong.
My headmistress started off saying she was sending the seniors off on their retreat
"the seniors got in a car crash?!"
no
Then she said she had got a message from Mr. ----
The whole freshman class heads dropped, tears streaming down our faces.
Sobs drowning our ears.
Our big sister class, then juniors came over to comfort us.


Erinn died from cancer.
She was diagnosed with it in sixth grade.
It was in her knee and it was treated.
Seventh grade better.
Eigth grade great.
But then it spread.
We thought it was better.
Nineth grade less and less.
Now never again.

It is not fair.
She was the sweetest girl I have ever met in my life.
Always a smile.
It was a good day if it was spent at school
She was the shortest girl in our class, but took it as an honor,
She lauged at anything and everything
She was someone to have random converstations with.
Someone that had eeverything to complain about, but never did.
the strongest person I have ever met.
A true inspiration.

THe first time we became friends
gym class. her leg just started bothering her
I had a broken arm
we both wanted to play soccer
I was her leg, she was my arm, and we played. and feel.

The last time she told me she loved me and I saw her.
At a fall out boy concert she had wanted to go to but couldn't
I went
They gladly signed my sock after me and my friends asked.
We gave it to her
She told us we were her lives
hugged us
and said she loved us.

She was only 14.
It is not fair.

I miss you Erinn
You knew I was odd
but you did not care
you attacked life with a smile
and it was a privlage to know you.
I love you with all my heart,
and I miss you.
