Has anyone ever been?

   The Phillies 2008 World Series Champions

They won and im so sad.. I wanted tampa to win.. So what are your thoughts? you happy they won or not?

i'm not giving a name of the town, county, or his name for the familys sake, since i havn't seen it on the news yet.. (if you figure out what town this is please leave it to yourself for the family.. thank you)

Anyway.. In a small town in Illinois a very close town.. a 16 year old child attempted suicide.. He shot himself in the upper head region.. he was arch helicoptered out.. After this people began showing up at school just to be together as a big crowd was gathered into the gym... the school board gathered and decided that they must have them leave or move to a different site.. so they went across town to the Catholic Church where all the Teachers from the small town came and all the HS and alot of the Jr. High students.. it was a full church as everyone was crying and hugging... it was a night of prayer and silence.. then we began talking as more people began to filter in and several decans and pastors, and priests talked. then the prayer ended the hugs got bigger and everyone was talking about the kid.. A very emotional night... This two days before Halloween (the towns most popular night) and one day before the HS big volley ball game.. the next school day was going to be a short one so the school board gathered and decided to cancel it.. as tommorrow is off anyway due to Parent teacher confrences..

Now.. i wish i could just say boo and have this story not be true.. but it is true.. and it was quite amazing how the small town gathered together at that church for that child... i will never forget...

this was yesterday.. this morning i woke up.. and my mom was calling me.. and she told me.... He died last night. The suicide Attempt succeeded.. im not looking forward to the funeral..
