Bittersweet News

I gathered the information slowly. Facebook updates with in minutes of eachother all Camp Sonshine counselors. I messaged a friend. Then I found the memorial group.

I am not a city girl though I plan on being here for the foreseeble future, I had friends die in high school, but it was in car accidents and from cancer. Never because they were shot. I didn't know Aaron as well as some other staff but he was always a laugh and always a friend and some how you can't work 12 hour a day summers without becoming close. There is something about doing everything with one another from scrubbing toilets to making 150 peanut butter sandwhiches that just brings you together.

And there is of course our God which makes us brother and sister. And that is why this is bittersweet. Becaus I will see Aaron again, I am convinced of it, but I will miss him until I do, his smile and his way with kids, and everthing else We lost a good man with loving heart, God gained the presence of one of His children.

See you on the other side brother.
