and it all seemed so surreal. Ijust called a friend to say hello, when she answered, there was nothing but sobbing.

me: "katie? what's wrong?"
her: "didn't you hear?"
me: "hear what?"
her: "you haven't read the paper or watched the news?"
me: "no, why, whats going on?"
her: "Desiree's mom has been murdered."

suddenly, my heart fell to the floor and my knees went weak. Do you remember that friend you had in high school? you know, the one who's house you would spend all your free time at? the one who's mom was like your second mom? yeah well, my second mom is gone. her boyfriend shot her, and then himself, all in the peaceful community of Clovis, ca.

I know its been a while since Ihave talked to her, but it still doesn't lessen the blow. Not news like this. I hope Desiree is going to be ok.

Although I have dealt with death many times in my life, I still manage to forget the reality of it.

life is temporary.
