He flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees

This past week has been very stressful.

I lost a friend a week ago exactly. It has been rough, trying to understand the un-explainable. Then of course the worst snow storm (or snow hurricane they are calling it) hit New York. Lost power and internet. Finally got it back, friends are still without heat and water, power and cable etc. They should get it back by Friday the earliest. My dad has been called into work and has had to stay later then usual. I am such a worry ward I refused to go out until I knew he was home safe.

I am so lucky to have the people in my life that I do now. My friends have been my back bone through this past week. Friends were staying with me making sure I was o.k. I really cannot thank them enough.

Sometimes life throws us these huge curve balls just to see how strong we really are. Even though I am behind in school work, and I am starting to doubt my ability to get through this, I still have faith that its just a hump i need to get over. This experience will only make me stronger.

My teachers have been so understanding through this hard time, and that I am so greatful for. It really makes me feel more relaxed and less pressured and I am able to get my work done knowing they understand that sometimes life throws curves that are just our of your hands.

There is a song I would like to share that really touched me during this past week.
