Well,it is very difficult for me to write this, but it is a beautiful experience that i feel the readers of this site can appreciate. So I'm finally going to share it with you.

I'm 26 now. this happened to me when i was 17. I was not very popular in school. never had many friends, so I felt this probable cause to quit school. mainly because I had one friend who went to another school and I thought by doing this I would have more time with lisa.

it would be very difficult for me to explain my friendship with her because I have yet to find that kind of bond with any other friend.

well, lisa was 15 at the time, and had only recently come to know her father. lisa's family had moved to the other side of town and I moved to a different state, but I would come down to visit an aunt of mine every weekend and go to this club. it just so happened that lisa lived only 2mls from this club. so every weekend when I got in town I would call her and try to get her to go with me. neither of us could drive yet so it was pretty difficult although I never understood why.

may 3,1991 sat. I came into town again. called lisa first thing as always. her mother answered the phone. I asked for lisa and she said "lisa don't live here anymore" and hung up. now although I knew it wasn't like her to be so rude, I cursed for a minute thinking lisa went to live at her fathers again and I didn't have the number. so that meant yet another weekend I wouldn't get to see lisa.

now this put me in a horrible mood the rest of the day. but I went to the club anyway hoping to change my mood. well it didn't help. pretty much the whole time I just pouted and grumbled and even my other friends tried to get me to dance but I just wasn't in the mood. well just as my mood came to a head and I was about to jump on some one I felt this swirling feeling in my gut. all of a sudden my mood changed to completely the opposite. no, I'm not manic depressive this is the only time this has ever happened to me.

the next day I stop on the way home to see another friend who had a birthday. he told me lisa had been killed in an accident just the day before. and to this day I still feel that hurt. it took me a while to realize what happened at the club that night. but once I thought about it I new she finally made it there that night. that in the end she didn't let me down. 

thank you for allowing me to share this story.

this is now my favorite sight.
