when i came home, i laid in bed for bit browsing
my social media. i came across the craziest, sickest piece of news i’d seed in a
while. one of the girls i went to high school with was arrested along with her
husband and charged with the death of their 3 week old baby. there wasn’t much
update after that except that the baby tested positive for heroin and
marijuana. another one of their 5 kids tested positive for marijuana. it’s wild
because on facebook, all she posted about was being a mother and how excited she
was to have her 5th kid. i remember her from high school vivid because she rode
my bus and had a thing with one of the homies. when she added me on facebook a
couple of years ago, she wrote on my wall about missing the old days. the
writing on the wall stuck out to me because people don’t do that much any more,
and because i thought i was the only one who missed the old days. i still can’t
believe it. people really do go their separate ways after school, and every so
often i’m reminded of it.
dog, we need a 30 for 30 on holly spring high’s class of 2011 cuz this shit is crazy.
