Remembering 2009

2009 was filled with alot of unpredictable and shocking events. In January the first black president took office. That was history and January 20 is a day that none of us will never forget! I never thought I'd live to see such thing. But now I know that I should never say never. You never know what will happen. My year started off well but then in Feb. my twin cousins' father had a tragic death (he froze to death and went into cardiac arrest) which was the first of a string of deaths that were ahead. After that death it took my cousins a hard time coping with that. One of my twins cousin had been in jail for 3 years and hadnt seen his father in that long. I still dont see how he dealt with that. They were close to their father. I'm glad the warden let him out for the funeral. But after that everything was good until the world lost two extraordinary entertainers. We lost Farrah Fawcett (Charlie's Angels) and the legendary King Of Pop Michael Jackson! Who would have ever thought they would have died on the same day?? How weird. R.I.P. to them both!
   In the spring we found out my grandfather had lung cancer. That was a shock because almost 5 years earlier my grandma died from the same thing! The doctors couldnt do anything considering my grandfathers lack of strength and energy so his days would be short. He died July 8. That was another family tragedy. So neither one of my maternal grandparents are alive. In August my twin cousin was released from prison which was good. In September our neighbor (I'd knew him every since I was born) died. In November I reconnected to my bestfriend...we had lost contact for a year or so. December was when things went worse. My great aunt passed away. My friends baby boy (he was 10 mths) passed away. And my old bus driver passed away. My grandmother always told me death come in 3...I believe her! Seems like when one person I know or is related to my family somehow die...2 more die too! A part of me always have believed in superstition (I'm not into cult or anything lolz) After everything that happened in 2009, I'm glad its gone. 2009 was like a horror movie...everyone was dying off. Hopefully this year everything will go better. I'ma keep my fingers crossed!!!


***RIP to all the great people we lost in 2009. Gone but never forgotten!***
