I feel like a bad person...I wish I didn't though...

life is stupid sometimes.

This is quite possibly the strangest, most confusing and emotionally difficult three days of my life.  First I had to watch the man made me feel welcome when we first moved here all those years ago pass on thursday.  Then Clete on friday.  So pat kornegays funeral on saturday afternoon and Cletes on monday...oh, did i forget to mention the fact that theres a wedding tonight....its so hard to be happy for jill and chris today...i just dont know if theres much happiness here.  Im just miss the kid so much.  It's like having a part of me ripped out of me, a big part of me.  He was the one I could turn to about anything whenever i needed him, and no matter what it was, he was never judgemental... Carson hit the nail on the head when he said something to the extent of  "Clete Childs, the son every mother wanted; the boy every father wants his daughter to marry."  Granted, the newspeople edited that comment out...but whatever.  Clete was a great kid, who led a life that impacted more people than he ever realized and more than i can ever hope to.  He left a giant void in all his friends lives and we miss him so much.  This one's for you buddy, "ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!"
