RIP Angie

Today I am not really in the mood to write anything but I do want to take a moment of silence in loving memory of Angela  Sternack and Aaron Duke La Belle Jr.  Novemember 12, 1996 my best friend in the world since the age of 2 years old, Angie while 9 months pregnant with Aaron ran in the street to chase her dog and was hit by a car.  She died instantly right in front of her brother and her baby lived for 15 mins but died because he was crushed.  I still remember her funeral vividly.  I can never forget the image of her holding her beautiful baby boy in her arms, looking as if they were both sleeping peacefully.  I still hear her mother Bonnie's screams.  The thing that bothers me is that Angie never got to hold her son or see him while still living.  That was her first child.  Me and her shared many momments growing up together as friends.  I am now listening to the song "Man in the Mirror" & Prince "Purple Rain" :) (on repeat all day) in memory of her.  I still miss you Angie!

Thanks Tee!!! She was such a carefree beautiful person. I know I need to write a poem for her. Its been 13 years and I have yet to do so and still sick so I am not really feeling poetic today, maybe 2morrow.

Thanks Senorita! There arent really any words for something like this. But I did talk to Angie's mom today and Angie sister has two daughters now and her oldest who is named after Angie is almost like a reincarnation of Angie :) She looks and acts just like her :) and her youngest daughter was born on Angie's birthday :) isnt that crazy...Its like Angie was letting them know that she is still watching over them. I am going to go and visit the family and see the kids really soon :)

I don't want you to think that I'm insensitive or that I presume too much but I would like to say that I hope you spend some time remembering the good times you had with your friend and not just the sad ones.

I'm really sorry for your loss.

JStar said...
