  today has been one of the hardest days of highschool for me. today was the last time i would see stephy in a ths hall, today was one of the last times i would be able to pass her notes when i ran across her on my way to class, today was the last time i could do the little giggly thing when she would talk about "her hotties"... today was stephanies last day at thornton.
i havent talked about this much because i have really tried not to believe it. i still forced myself to think that she was "just sick" and that shed be back tomorrow... but she wont... and i dont know wat to say or think about that. i love stephy so much because even though i havent known her for all that long she has really made my life better.
you see stephanie was always the girl who would stand up for you if you were in a fight, she was always the one to calm you down after you stood up for her (which i have to say didnt happen often because she has always been one to take care of business). she is just amazing!!! i really didnt get a good chance to get to know her in middleschool because we were never in the same core but when we got to highschool i saw her daily and i got to see how wonderful she really is. every time i think about steph leavin i just burst into tears because i cant stand the thought of her not being here.
it is beyond all words that i feel bonded to her in some extraordinary way! for those of you who are reading this and never got the chance at all to meet stephanie and you never knew just how great she is i am really sorry for you because she is one person who in her (soon to be) 15 years of life have made unremarkable changes in the world.
she is just more amazing than all the words and sentences and letters and thoughts and ideas can describe. i love you stephy and i hope that you have a wonderful time in alabama and i cant wait for you to get back to colorado this summer so that we can spend more fun filled moments and memories together. i love you so much!!! and will miss you too much! bye sweetheart!
