What a scary thing to go through, glad your cousin wasn't physically harmed, but I'm sure it's something he'll always remember.

:hugs there's a day or two like this for us all. It's good to remember these days to be grateful. But do not dwell there long.

I'm sure it is. There was something said to his Dad's friend last year from him about it, but that was because his Dad's friend had been involved in something. Though none of us will really say anything to each other about it, we won't forget it. Last year after thanking my friends mom flee taking that necessary things as a dispatcher, I got a helmet sticker of the new thing, I know he saw it but I didn't say a thing about it

Yeah, it is good to remember when sore of in pain to not feel it but it can't be all that's on our mind. I only think about it every now and then but have gotten over all that happened

So today it marks exactly two years since that terrifying day that led to Claire Davis losing her life

In the moments of free time I've had recently I've written about somethings, and here is one of them, the one I feel was the most detailed and the hardest to write. I also posted it in my journal.

It was Friday December 13, 2013. There is the movie about Friday the thirteenth being bad and this was no exception. I remember my math teacher saying jokingly have a great day. Around lunch as I would find out later that day, it became a day you only hear about on TV. The moment you really get scared for someone. I had been called in from recuse while while the school was put under secure perimeter. Rumor was flying around but no teacher would actually confirm. When I got home I found the truth, and not any school. Arapahoe High School, my cousin's school. That night a sorta packed but more watched the news. Sometime later it was told that my uncle had gotten my cousin and he was okay. That night when we got there he was playing hockey with his brother and friends. It was late so I went to bed, but it took me a bit to fall asleep. I only faked being asleep when they got back and being in a trundle bed it was in between his bed and another. When I knew he was near and actually safe I couldn't help but let a smile cross my face. He was okay.

That morning I used my trumpet as the alarm clock for everyone it meant so much to me to see him. Looking back at it he had commented on the countdown I had going and that is to show, despite what had happened the previous day he was still the same person inside. That morning during the car ride to ski he spoke about it and answered our questions. I've forgotten most of it now but wish I hadn't.
