A letter from heaven

I recently attended a mass to remember loved ones that have passed away and I have to say it was beautiful. I want to share a prayer/poem that was said at it. It reduced me to tears as it reminded me of my granny. Here it is:

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say,
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above,
Where there are no tears or sadness, there is just eternal Love.

Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight,
Remember that I'm with you, every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me, and said, " I welcome you".

"It's good to have you back again.
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man".

Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do.
And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you.
I will be beside you, every day of the week and year,
And when you're sad I'm standing there, to wipe away the tear.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth, and all those loving years,
Because you're only human, there's bound to be some tears.

One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over,
I am closer to you now than I ever was before.
And to my many friends, trust God knows what is best.
I am not far away from you, I'm just beyond the crest.

There are rocky roads ahead for you and many hills to climb,
Together we can do it, taking one day at a time.
It was my philosophy and please I'd like for you,
To give unto the world, so the world will give to you.

If you can help someone who's in sorrow or in pain,
Then you can say to God at night, my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

When you're walking down the street and I am on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
And when you feel a gentle breeze of wind upon your face,
That's me giving you a great big hug, or just a s oft embrace.

When it's time for you to go from that body to be free,
Remember you are not going, you are coming home to me.
I will always love you, from that place way up above,
I will be in touch again soon.
P.S. God sends his love.

Charachter 1

Candra Delano was different. For once she never smiled, her mouth was pulled into a permanent frown. She never looked remotely interested in anything. Her teal eyes were troubled. They never showed any love or affection towards anyone or anything.She looked like someone who has been through more tragedies than anyone her age should have to go through. She was a small girl and most woudn't have paid any attention to her if it werent for the fact that no one knew anything about her. She was hiding something. Everyone knew it. One kid even got so nosey that they hired a private investigator to follow her and he found nothing. It was as if she knew someone was following her. No one knew anything about her except where she lived. She lived by herself and had moved to New Salem two years ago. No one knew where she moved from . Some guessed that she came from somewhere in California, because of her tanned skin. Never once did she talk. Not even when a teacher asked her a question. She just sat and stared at them. Eventually they moved on. Somehow she managed to get straight A's. She'd never made any friends. She was afraid of getting too involved, but she would never tell anyone that. She saw it as a weakness. No one would ever find out anything about her. Not unless she wanted them to. In that case they would never find anything about her. She would always be the tanned girl that no one knew anything about. And that's the way she wanted it to be.

I would really appreciate it if you would give your opinions on this charachter.
The lead male charachter coming soon :)

Why? What do they get out of it?

Recently my English teacher gave my class an assignment. We had to write about the positive and negative factors of social networking sites. We also had to research one negative story involving various social networking sites.
My research lead me to the very publised case of Pheobe Prince, a fiftenn year old girl who hanged herself after months of bullying. I wont go into detail on the case. If you wish to know more simply search Pheobe Prince on google. I was appalled whe I read the details of her bullying and it begs the question "why would someone want to do that to another human being?" No one should be treated this way because of who they used to date, where they come from. They should be treated because of the things they do.
Bullying is a serious issue and is present in every school. Some schools have a more serious case of bullying. Social networking sites seem to make bullying easier as they can simply delete their comments and pretend they didnt do anything.
Anyone who bullies someone so much that they end up commiting suicide should be charged no matter what their age! They should have to face the consequences of their actions!

Here we go again

I am aware that most of you (well those who are still in school) will probably already have had over a week of school. I was meant to post this in august but I was busy getting ready for getting back to school. School has never been my favourite thing in the world but I am grateful that I am able to attend school at all, many dont have that oppurtunity. Today is september 11th 2011, the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks in America that claimed the lifes of nearly 3000 innocent people. RIP to all who died that day, you will never be forgotten.
Now that school is back and I will be going into my GCSE years I unfortunately wont be able to read as much or write. Therefore I wont be writing many reviews (not that I had many anyway) if you would like to see what Im reading then follow me on twitter @lovereading_21 or add me as a friend on goodreads www.goodreads.com/lovereading21
Of course back to school  brings back the drama of last year, it seems that some people cant let go of the small things that happened in school last year. I hope that eventually they will be able to move on. I have realised that I am rambling on a bit. I shall leave now. Feel free to add me on goodreads or follow me on twitter, ask for a follow back.
Thanks, Leona :)
