FOR APRIL AND MARK

IT WASN'T ME THAT DID IT, BUT I STILL FEEL THE NEED TO SHARE IT.

I HAVE TWO FRIENDS, MARK AND APRIL, APRIL, IS 17, STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL AND "PRETTY AND POPULAR" MARK IS 14 AND ON THE FOOT BALL TEAM, YOUR REGULAR HIGH SCHOOL JOCK. MY WIFE AND I WAS AT A NEAR BY CHURCH CLEANING UP, WHEN IT HAPPEND. MY MOM CALLED ME WHEN WE GOT HOME.

"HE LOST HIS LEG" I SAT THERE WANTING TO SAY "WHO?" IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENCE, IT WASN'T SUSPOSED TO HAPPEN LIKE THAT. IT WAS ALLMOST LIKE A DREAM, AND APRIL HIS SISTER, HAD A BROKE FACE, FRACTURED SCULL, BROKEN LEG, BROKEN ARM, AND A FRECTURED VERTABRA. IT WAS JUST SOMEHTING THAT DIDN'T HAPPEND TO GOOD KIDS. THEY WERE THE POPULAR KIDS, CHURCH KIDS, BUT THERE THEY WERE, LAYED UP IN A HOSPITAL. I FELT ODD, I WASN'T SURE WHAT I WAS SUSPOSED TO DO, OR SAY, OR IF THERE WAS ANYHTING I COULD SAY.

"HOW CAN A ONE LEGGED BOY STAND UP?" IT WAS UNEXPLAINABLE, HOW COULD HE? BUT LIKE MY MOM SAID, " ON HIS ONE LEG." AND ONLY A WEEK AFTER THE ACIDENT, AND THE EXACT SAME DAY THEY TOLD HIM. IT WAS UNBELIEVEBALE, I HAD NEVER KNOWN SOMEONE THAT STRONG OF SPIRIT. WHO COULD DO THAT KIND OF THING. AND HIS SISTER FAIRED WELL, ONLY WORRING ABOUT THE OUTFIT THEY CUT WHILE SAVING HER LIFE. IT'S FUNNY TO ME, BUT IT'S BECAUSE I KNOW THEM. MARK NOW, ONLY A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE WRECK, HAS BEEN RIDING AROUND ON HIS ATV. THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK TO TELL RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S THEIR STORY ~RAMMAH~

IT MADE ME REALISE HOW SHOT LIFE COULD BE.
