    It's been a week since I found out Katie has Breast Cancer. It has been really hard for her, she tries to act like it doesn't bother her, but her acting like it doesn't bother me. She also hasn't been able to attend school yet, my classes feel empty without her. I started facetiming her during some of the classes we usually have together, I facetime her, then put my phone on the desk she usually sits at so it is like she is still in class. Or we just facetime on the bus after school.

   Tony has been talking to me a lot more, we even hung out after school and went to that frozen yogurt place near school. It was pretty fun, he's not so bad, and he is quite frankly fun to be around. He is always there when I am missing Katie, He told me I always have a shoulder to cry on when I need it. Tony is a pretty great friend, especially when Katie's not here to make me laugh, or smile, or to spill the tea with. :)

   Things have been going terribly wrong, Katie is in the hospital with Cancer, my Mom is in the hospital as well. Apparently my mom has Tumor Cancer, I was the one who found out because I went to wake her up on the weekend... and she was on the floor groaning in pain, crying, and curled into a ball. Took her to the hospital, and that's when I got the news she had Tumor Cancer.           

       My dad died when I was 4, he was hit by a drunk semi-truck driver, on his way to get me my present he was buying me for my 4th birthday... He was on his way to the Animal Shelter... He was buying me a Golden Retriever puppy named Rufus. After he died, me and my mom went and picked him up. (it was like 4 days after the accident) we still have him, he is now 9 years old.

This was Rufus as a puppy. :) He is a great guard dog, great cuddle buddy, and a great emotional supporter. Whenever you are crying, or are sad, he comes to you, and lays his head on your lap. He can make you smile instantly. I love my baby. <3
