Do you really want to hurt me?

Oh, you know you wanna come! See the post below about your RSVP

"The One Thing"

In light of yesterday's tragedy, I'd like to first convey how truly sorry I feel for the families and friends of those who were killed. As a parent I am sickened by the senseless acts that transpired and cannot imagine the heavy hearts in desperate need of healing. I pray for their comfort as they search for answers.

This brings me to what I believe to be one of the most imortant things in my life. My faith. My faith in God, in myself, my family, and in mankind. Like many of you, it has essentially shaped both who I am and what I strive to become. Faith can bring us together, and yet ironically can also tear us apart. That being said, where would we be without it?

Faith can bring hope, comfort, happiness, healing, and so much more if we allow it. My faith rocks me to the core and at times gently warms me like the sun on my face. My children will witness my faith and hopefully pass it on to their children. This in turn I hope, will make them not only better people, but also more equipped to help heal our fragile world.

Live life. Love deeply. Follow your dreams. Most of all, have faith.

Hope to see you all at the reunion!

The Friends We Never Had..........

As time has flown by, as each year has brought me new epiphonies and greater enlightenment, throughout the trials we have all faced in our personal lives since we have all gone our seperate ways, both happiness and tragedy that has helped to shape us into who we are today, I want to speak to those of you who might be checking this site out of curiousity but may have no intention of coming to the reunion for whatever reason. With hindsight being 20/20, I now understand the depths of my ignorance from back in the day, albeit was wonderfully bliss at the time, no less......was still my achilles heel that blinded my way. There were many of you who I secretly had wished to be friends with but instead I chose to hold your popularity or lack thereof against you as it was so much easier to write off my shortcomings and insecurities and tax it to your bill so to speak. I used to think of people in clicks and social circles to my detriment. When I went to the 10 year reunion, to my shock and surprise, I was having amazingly deep(er) conversations with some of you I'd never given the time of day to in my wildest dreams, nor did it seem that you would either for me........ or atleast I had always mistakenly thought. It was great to meet some of you truly for the first time in 97'. For those I have not really met yet, I just want to say I am sorry, I was wrong, I regret that I did not, cause I am sure you were more amazing than I ever knew. I hope you rethink things and decide to come after all, I am sure there is much I could learn from you, I am sorry I never did. For all the good times we never had, the memories I can' t say we shared, I just want the chance to finally meet you, it's been far too long overdue.

In memory of those classmates who are no longer with us

Since others have the humor taken care of in the blog (yes, you Jason) I thought I would take a turn at something more sentimental and pay tribute to our classmates who passed away and won't be able to join us. We would like to also have a tribute at the reunion that remembers them and celebrates what they meant to us. In order to do that, we need your memories so please share. And if you have other items (pictures, etc) you would like to contribute to the memorial at the reunion, drop me a line at smrtblnd@gte.net and I will figure out how to get them from you.

The classmates we are aware of:

Greg Vinson
Chito Duran
Gina Aquila

I'll start.

My memory is of Chito in 8th grade at St Philomena's. We were inside for recess due to the rain and a couple of us got caught throwing the football in the classroom. I remember Chito telling Mrs. Byers that if she was going to bust us she had to bust the whole class because we were all doing it. Needless to say, no one got in trouble.

Now it's your turn...................
