Personal Essay

This stuff is for a Personal essay for my Social Documentary class. I havent been to the graveyard cents we buried dad. I felt like i would spoil how important of a moment it was. It was damp and mucky and there were only a few of us there when the pastor begin to say what he said in such biblical importance. And just like in the movies as the pastor said " As i walk into the valley of...." thunder roars and the drizzle began to intensify. I wanted to save this as my last memory of him, but i realize now that although the hurt it cause me, losing him, is shared. I wasnt the only person to lose someone. i wasnt the only person to feel a gaping hole in my heart which can only be known today as a scar. My family shared this moment and i decided to confront what ever it was keeping me away from the graveyard. So i took an expert with me. I needed to rebuild a connection with Britt. She is one of my main inspirations now. She makes me want to try even harder. She is trully a stone in the cirle that protects me known as my walls. Thanks you Brittany!! thanks for being a sister that know one could even ask for becasue you so unique.

You know it seems that the only time man can finally organize him self into a perfect order of things is in a graveyard when he is dead. I dont know...
