I witnessed an extremely terrible thing the other night. I don't know how appropriate it is to write about in a blog, but I know no one really reads these, so I guess it doesn't matter too much.
Seeing one of your buddies almost die is very terrifying. Mr. Max a.k.a. Maxi Pad (hah) suffered a heart attack (yes, at 14! But 15 this Tuesday!) last night while playing his last basketball game of the season. Maybe (but hopefully not) of his life... It was horrible. I wish I didn't have to see it, but I'm glad I was there. It's not something you see every day. It's definitely something you don't want to see. What if he died? The last thing I would have said to him was "Don't steal my boyfriend Max! haha". Gah. Technically he did die for at least 20 seconds. I'm glad and not glad I was there because I could have seen him in his last moments. That is just a scary thing. It's what I fear the most. Losing the people I care for because of death.
I am so happy that his dad was there when it happened, as his dad also suffered these kind of things. So he knew what was up. If he wasn't there, Max could have died. That would have been... just terrible... I need a different word than terrible.
Anyway. He's fine now. Well, whatever you want to call fine... But yeah. He's going through surgery Monday to get a pacemaker put in his heart. He'll be back probably Wednesday or Thursday, as he tells us. I just got back from visiting him. It was really nice and fun to see him. He seems like his normal Max self. I could definitely tell he was really tired towards the end. His parents looked exhausted too. I'm pretty sure he had consistant visitors today. He said that when he died he just dreamt. At least he think he did. Max said he couldn't remember of what though. He thinks maybe something about basketball. He reported that he saw no light, hah.
Hopefully he enjoyed our (Jack, Lana, Brady, Meaghan, Lana's mom, and I) company!! I know we did!!
Well, other things in my life... Hmm... Nothing too special, haha.
I learned today that I can jog to the pond from the school pretty tirelessly. I was proud of myself. But we did walk a lot, as I jogged in a group with Brady, Lana, and Meaghan. But I didn't get tired, and I wasn't all "aaah soo tiiired heaaave". Yay!!
Well... That's basically it with my life for right now.

Wow I'm so sorry that had to happen. At least he's doing alright! I can't imagine what that must have felt like.
