Well, Friday was supposed to be a good day but it wasn't. Brandi texted me telling me that Skylar Brockwell died. I don't understand how such a thing could happen. We talked for a long while a couple years ago, and he was the first guy I liked after Reese dumped me. Reese was my first boyfriend and Skylar was the guy that made me realize that there are more fish in the sea. Always, there are more fish in the sea. I mean, Reese crushed my soul and my spirit and when I met Skylar he lifted me right back up. Maybe that means nothing to some people, but it changed me. It changed me forever. Tara and Brandi were really dismissive about it and it really pissed me off. One of them said something to the extent of 'Well we're at the age where lots of people we know are going to die and you haven't talked to him in a long time so you need to get over it.' I was so upset by that, for reasons I won't elaborate on. It was a really hypocritical thing to say, I'll put it that way. Every time I think of it my blood boils. Of course, Ray is jealous of every guy I've ever talked to so I got no comfort from him. I suppose I found comfort within myself, for the most part. I'm mostly upset when I think of how he died. His car hit a tree and caught fire and he burned to death. What a horrible way to go, and who on earth deserves that? I don't think anyone does. When I think about it I start to freak out. I don't understand how God could let something like that happen.
Thank you, Skylar, for teaching me that there are always more fish in the sea.
Rest in piece.
I think this deserves its own blog, so I'll post about the rest of the weekend later.

hey Jenni,
ReplyDeleteI know you don't know me..but we have a lot in common when it comes to Skylar. I just found out last night that he died,I had no idea it's been a year.I'm still kind of in shock,and I don't have too many people to talk about it with. My fiance is a lot like your bf, he's really jealous of any guy I've had relationships with..so yea, I'm sure he thinks sky was just an old friend. I started crying when I read his obituary,he had a baby girl he never got to meet. That is so tragic,he would have been such a good father. I met him after a really bad breakup with my first serious boyfriend,and he made me realize that all guys aren't complete asses.He was such a real person,and could make you smile in your worst mood. I can't believe he burned to death..that makes me feel sick to even think about it. and you're right,no one should die that way. I hope you don't mind that I commented on this,but it touched me;and made me feel a little better that someone else felt the same. I wish I could've went to his funeral at least..but we weren't in the same group of friends like we used to be..I guess I'll just have to pay my respects. anywayy I know this is way late but I think I would feel the same no matter what day I found out. take care :)
