I feel SOOOOOOO bad right now. I found out some really sad news today about Daniel. I don't even want to type it out it's depressing. I was wondering why he hadnt been at school lately and today at lunch Harmony was talking about him asking if he was alright. No one knew what she was talking about so we asked her and she said she couldn't tell us because she didn't even know if it was true or not. Then some of us went back to Mrs. G's class room and her and Jen were talking about it and so I asked what happened and she told me that....his dad died. He and his dad were fishing this weekend and his dad got caught somehow in something and drowned and poor Daniel couldn't do anything and I guess just sat and watched his own father drown. I felt like crying after I heard that. Just everything flashed through my head like when me and him went out and he'd have to go to his dad's house and he'd call me from there, or when we hung out and he and his brother rode their scooters from his dads house to mine when it was raining and it was like totally shocking just realizing his dad was dead. That has got to be the worst thing in the world and I can't even begin to imagine how horrible he must feel. After everything he's done to me and I've done to him it's like all that doesn't matter anymore and I want to just go and hug him and tell him I'm sorry and stuff. But like Harmony said, she still doesn't know if it's true or not.
