I moved away…as sad as it is. It’s different,harder,scarier. Surprised that I could get back into the account since I moved to a different state.
To my friends…please don’t forget me. Hold on to our friendships because I can’t do it alone without anyone else. I miss you all.

My favorite sense is touch. It makes my life so much easier to be able to feel something.For example, getting your foot stabbed a needle. I play sports,so sometimes I wouldn’t want to be able to feel a ball hitting me but the best part is , to know exactly what hit you! I love to feel something, that’s just my way of life, liking to feel something.
My life would be hard to not have the sense to touch. If I I got hit by a car I would probably die but I wouldn’t get to feel it. I would hate it if I couldn’t feel the warm water in the shower or the cold,wet rain outside. I think God everyday for his creations, that means he created me. He gave me five senses but I chose one because if I got hit by a car without feeling it, I would be gone without a feeling.
In 1927,Thomas Madewell was born. He lived in Gilmer,Texas. He met my Great-grandma at the old Dairy Queen in 1939. Now,I will tell you the story that was sad,brave,but happy.
Every year I got to see my Great-grandpa.He would make me laugh by telling a story called Once Lived a boy Named Jeffer. He would also tell me what I would probably become when I get older,like for example,a Nascar driver (hopefully not). Great-grandpa would give me spectacular guitar lessons. He could play a guitar really good, I mean have you ever listened to him play?
During Summer we went to the hospital. It was Great-grandpa’s last day. I cried for hours and prayed with him,after we were done praying he gave me his guitar. I knew he was brave. I love my Great-grandpa,he is my hero because he made me laugh by circus peanuts and made my life so much easier. I know I will see my hero in Heaven. I figured that you can change who you are in the inside but not on the outside. I know my hero. “For God so loved the World that He gave His one and only Son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life,” John 3:16.
The sun shining in the meadow.
With rain dropping on webs.
With leaves up high in a tree,
where only birds capture the moonlight glare.
I smell the nature of God’s creation.
The bark from a tree.
Soaked with moisture from the nearby water.
Leaves tumbling down with air that cools me.
Trees swaying back and forth.
Swish,Swosh.
I hear birds chirping all around me.
I realized it must be the natural desire.
That last Forever.
