Ray's Story
Life
Job now I now work for the gov of sask. Easyest job i ever had. I love it. All i do is keep an eye on crazzy people. To make sure they cause them selfs no harm. I love it.
Though i must admit i thought we would never grow old. I thought we would be young for ever. ( must admit I Do not do so gracefully) I though i would never say this. But i Miss you people i Want to school with. I constantly find my self wondering what ever happend to you. All of you. Both the good and bad. ( the ones i was never realy freinds with) Some I disliked then . But now find i Wish you all well. ( no im not a sap just getting old ) I remember all of you. Every face. i have never forgot you all. I am forced to tell yah that i find myself looking threw my year book. More often than i like to admit. Finding myself thinking of those old days.I f i onley knew then what i know now. My life would have been lived a lot differently. ( my life now is fine. I just wish i had done some thigs diff.) I would have loved to have known some of you better.
I alway thought i would see every one around town. So getting to know them wasnt a high priority. Pluse the fact i was kinda stuck up. I figured people not in my personel life. Didn't deserve to know me. So i played the part of the fool.No one expects much from a fool. I find my self regetting that now. ( hindsight ahhh?)
So why do I pour e my fellings out here. I have burried a lot of people in my life. (freind and aquaintences) Realising just how presiouse each person who touches your life is. Some not all wanted one thing as the end drew near. To be remembered. And not to be forgotten. I keep each one of them with me. Pluse i find myself missing them from time to time.
I live in ...Expand for more
a small town. ( is there aney thing but in this province) Where every one goes. Oh that guy. I went to school with them. I made me realise. I havent seen a person i know fronm school in over 20 years.
Them i'll hear an old song. To finde myself smilling . Thinking wow iwas doing this (or that) when this song was big. West whalley were actualy great years for me. Yah opk i might have smoked a little to much weed back then. ( and drank a little heavey upon occasion)But i was young and interverted. ( bashfull even. More a fraid of making a mistake for real. Than actulay making it look like i did)
I would find my self wondering the halls. Wondering what your life's were like out side of school. If you all acted in school like i did. Pertendind to be some one else.
I must admit some of you did inspire me. Some threw the kind person you were. Some threw threw the asshole you were. I was a clean chalkboard when i started schole. Soom of you taught me how to be nice., Otheres taught me how to be mean. (as hell when need be)
In my life I have seen a lot of crulety. It to inspired me also. Im my life. I have tried to leave things. Just a little better than when i first arived. I Belive we get eventualy what we give.
I have found myself doing random acts of kindness. For no other reason than to be kind.
I have found my self sitting death vigals with people i barely know. But on the same hand. I have broken up mariges. ( upon request, For some I helped in doing this. Some people are to weak to just leave.)
But on a sad note i have to tell you. David bejork Died of lecemoia ( never could spell ) some 20 or more years ago. May the gods rest his soul. He was staying with my foster parents for a time. Was a christin fellow at the time of his passing. I know he had amney freinds at the time of his demise.
