Grief around the holidays..

Last night I was studying for finals, and getting so aggravated..when I got a call from Megan (my friend)..well I let it ring because I really had to study hard for this final..my phone alerted me to a message, so I listened and was in shock..she said "Hey girl, I know you were friends with Colin Campbell, so I figured you would know when his funeral is..so call me and tell me.."..I just starting sobbing uncontrolablly..and memories flooded my mind..
I started remembering how me and Colin would sit in gym class (he was a good friend of mine in high school) and we would have life talks, and pointless talks..he would make me laugh soo much..he was honestly (and Im not just saying this) the greatest friend anyone could ask for..
well I finally called Megan back (after calming down) and found out what happened..apparently he was going down the road and drifted over the middle line into the opposite lane and hit a Big truck head on..the other people are all fine, no injuries, but Colin was in critical condition and died on Sunday December 7...I know how much I miss him, and how much it honestly hurts to think that he is gone and never coming back...but I also keep thinking how hes parents and sisters have to feel..not only do they have to get over this shock, but it also happend around christmas time, which does not make this any easier..
well today I found out a little bit more about my dear sweet friend..not only was he the sweetest person while alive, but he is saving 4 peoples lives (while in heaven)..here is the story I found about him that proves my dear Colin Campbell is an angle:

Colin Michael Campbell
A resident of Denham Springs, Colin Michael Campbell, 20, passed away Sunday, Dec. 7, 2008, due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Through this he was able to save the lives of four people immediately with the donation of his organs. Though he was with us for only a short time, he will live on in our hearts and now in the lives of others for his love and generosity. Colin worked in flooring, but his true passion and work was as a musician/drummer with his band "Who By Fire," which recently recorded their first CD with Colin as drummer. He was also a talented writer of poetry and a lover of all animals. His care and love for all will be missed dearly. A memorial service will be held at Grace Believers Bible Church, 11020 Stanley Aubin Lane, on Thursday, Dec. 11, at 1 p.m., officiated by the Rev. Mark Rumfello. He is survived by his parents, Steve and Debra Campbell; two sisters who loved and adored him, Allison Allecia and Melissa Hope Campbell; two uncles, Jerry Wayne Campbell and Randy Cassady; aunt, Christine Marie Campbell Phillips; and many beloved cousins and friends. Preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Verl Calvin Cassady and Helen Ruth Cassady; paternal grandparents, Allie Harold Campbell Jr. and Jessie Christine Campbell; uncle, Ronald H. Campbell; and aunt, Terri Lynn Ewing. Arrangements by Seale Funeral Service Inc., Denham Springs.

Colin, you will be missed very much, and you were loved by many..R.I.P Collin

Magical Afternoon...

Hello darling, first of all..I want to thank EVERYONE who visited my Halloween party..everyone was soooo sweet!!! Thank you for all the wonderful compliments..you really put me in the Halloween spooky mood..;p But I must tell you about the wonderful day today...I woke up to a Dreamy state of mind..I walked outside and looked up at the cloudy sky's....
and cooler weather (well cooler weather, compared to what it has been)haha...

well I decided to make a cup of peppermint tea (YUMMY!!)

and then I heard a song from outside..a kind of beautiful, eerie song..and I wonderful force was pulling me outside...I grabbed my tea and decided it was time for a fall adventure..

But I needed to find the magical key to unlock the "dreamy vision outside" (you see, they have "Normal keys" that lead to a "Normal destination", so I needed to find my "Magical Key" that leads to a "Magical destination"...hehe)YAY..I found the Magical key..now were off..I wanted to visit my beautiful secret cove...so as I walked in the dreamy state...As I kept walking, I realized even the trees are a little eerie looking..wouldn't you agree??Everything is just screaming HALLOWEEN (at least to me..)!!!Now I have to admit, I have something in common with one of my favorite bloggers..Ms. Vanessa..we both seem to have a fascination with fungi and baby moss..I found this beautiful green baby moss in between my stepping stones..I love it..I can't help but to smile when I see little green patches of moss..:)

So I finally made it to my secret cove, and relaxed with my wonderful tea and just admired the beautiful eerie look of today..ohh I must show you, we have an orange tree in the back yard, and they aren't really ready to eat yet, but I thought it was really cool looking..and the oranges are so heavy and full, that one of the branches looks like its just gonna fall over with fullness..isn't it lovely?? ok darling, well Halloween is only a week away, and Im obnoxiously excited about it..haha I have some last min. altering to do to my costume..it looks somewhat like this (minus the GIANT crown and gold embellishment..haha)

well Im off to finish Halloween stuff around my house..I will see you soon..have a lovely day..
