Last night my parents broke the news that my uncle died. my status on gaia in the morning was that i thought he was gonna die that day... unlucky me... i havent realy cried yet because i dont feel strong enough to handle my own tears but i'm slowly being broken be seeing all of my family cry. my poor aunt must be hurting so much, but i have faith that she will recover, never compleatly but she will go on with life because she has a bunch of loving nieces and nephews and two loving sons. so i felt like i should re-tell the dragonfly story on gaia:
once upon a time in a small pond there were a bunch of happy little water beatels. every once in awhile one would wander up a vine and never be seen again. this was a very sad day for the little animals. one beatle decided he never would accend up the vine because he never wanted to leave his friends and family behind. but a day or so after the small beatle got the urge to climb up the vine and decided he NEEDED to climb up it. when he emerged from the water he layed in the sun for awhile. it felt so nice. when he got up he sprouted wing then realized he had become a dragonfly! he flew thru the air and then went back down o the lillypad to try and see his family and friends. but he was a dragonfly now, and could not go into the water. but he was happy now, he knew that one day his family and friends would join him flying thru the skies. Even though his family missed him he knew that they would not miss him forever because they would eventualy be together again, because thats what life is.
