In Memory

On July 28, 2013 my best friend and cousin died in her sleep.   This has been one of the most trying things I have ever gone through.   I have gone through almost every emotion in the book except for happiness.   I am so heart broken words can not express.   I have not heard of why she is gone.

I have been so angry but my heart is softening enough to write some fun memories of her.

I remember many trips to Bear Lake.
I remember her nephew walking by the tent.   He kept on tripping on the tent string.   Diana kept saying Scott there is a wall.   Scott would walk and trip over the rope again and again.   We would just laugh and laugh.

Again at Beat Lake we were in the camper with some of our other cousins.   I were playing card games.   Diana was just belching.   I stayed laughing and trying to get my cousin Todd to belch.   It wasn't working.   But we were sure laughing.
Another memory I have is doing the Backstreet Boy lip sync and her trying to get me to loosen up.   I was not a very good dancer.   But she kept trying.

She and I went to Park City with her parents.   I went to the pill where a young boy was basically drowning me.   Finally Diana got so mad she put her hand on his forehead and he tried to get her but his arms where just flapping around.

Another memory is rating at Jackson.   She and I were on the Mino with Samm and Leisa.  Leisa had fallen out and a huge wave knocked her and I over.   The tube had fallen out from under neath us and we were on our backs.   Arms, legs and Paddles everywhere.   We were screaming and laughing.

Yet another memory was when she and I walked through the drove through at the bank to visit Emily.   I begged Em for suckers.  She gave us one.   We walled through again and got some more suckers.

There is a life time of memories I have of Diana and they are all happy.  Even at our grandparent's funerals she was smiling.

I love you Diana and will miss you something fierce.   I can't begin to explain the hurt I feel.
