Some things you can't forget..
I can remember exactly what I was doing 11 years ago today at this time. If I'm not mistaken I was sitting in Mandy Long's vehicle crying my eyes out as I told Kevin about a passing of a dear friend.

I think that day has stayed burned in my mind. Brandi LeAnn Runnels passed away 11 years ago. Same type of pretty day..overcast in the evening just as it is today. Up until that point in my life I remember people passing, but no one but my Mamo's death sticks in my memory like Bran's. Simply because Chris, Kim, Bran, and I were so close, I don't know, but I know one thing our lives changed that day. We lost a part of each one of us that day. A part that brought the 3 of us that much closer, I think. Chris and Kim have a relationship that no words can even describe. I remember a few weeks after her passing, Chris getting some Chewy Chips of Hoy cookies and crying all the way home from town when he offered me one. Those were the cookies Bran and I ate when we were laying around watching tv. And to this day I still can't eat them. Weird how the little things can bring you to tears.

Not knowing how things happened that evening made things hard for everyone of us. All we know is the Good Lord had a plan, we hurt from his plan, but we cannot question why any longer. We know that she has been there to greet some of our great friends that have passed. I know when my time comes, that will be one face I'll be looking forward to see..

Bran, know I cry no more, for I know where you are! I love you and miss you with all my heart!! Until we see each other again...
