The world just isn't right...
Someone who I cared very deeply about passed away today. Chelsey Bowden, a girl I had dated for 8 months, passed away today, just 4 days after her 19th birthday. She had been living with cervical cancer, as well as Diabetes which was just recently discovered, but as far as anyone can tell she seemed to be fine. She had gotten ill last week with something that resembled strep throat, but her birthday was on Thursday and she seemed fine after that. I called her today to see how things were going and her sister said she was sleeping. This was at 1:30 in the afternoon and that seemed odd, but nothing seemed wrong. I called again at 4:15 after I left work and her sister said she was dead. I thought it was Chelsey on the phone so I said "haha very funny" and she passed the phone off to her mom. I asked her where Chelsey was and she said that she had died in her sleep and the coroner had just left with her body. I was in such shock that I had no idea how to respond. I told her that I was sorry and I would let her go, since she's her mother and all. I drove the rest of the way home in total shock. I pulled into my driveway and just broke down. It's not right that someone with such a great heart and someone who is so young can be taken before she's gotten to experrience life. I told my mother about it and she wanted to break down, but was more concerned for me. It's just not right I swear, she was the sweetest person I had ever met in my life and it's just wrong to take someone who is that nice and adorable and take them from us. I guess it's a part of life, but that doesn't make it any less fucked up. I've never had anyone close to me die before, so I really don't know exactly how to take it. All I can do is reminisce on what was and hope that she's in a better place with less pain then she was in here.
I love you Chelsey Bowden... Rest in Peace sweetheart. 7/10/1984 - 7/14/2003
