Terribly Sad Stories

I think it's time we gather around and share terribly sad stories and share our sorrow with one another about how cruel the world can be and how much it can suck. My story starts off last night, as I came back from a week long awesome vacation to San Diego where I basically sat on my ass for a week straight on the beaches. Last night was our flight back and when we came home, I was expecting my 13 year old dog to jump up and down in delight to see that I have returned but instead I couldn't find him anywhere. My dad pulled me off into the other room and I felt sick to my stomach as he told me that while on vacation, me dog tripped down the stairs and broke a leg. When they took him into the Vet's, instead of opting to fix it, because he is so damn old, they instead decided it would be best if he was put down. It bothered me so hard just to know that the poor old guy died without me even knowing or when exactly it was. Fine, dogs die, he was old, but I still feel really terrible about the whole thing and that he is really gone. I had him my whole life almost.

As if that wasn't enough, one of my friends who was a bit older than me had his tour in Iraq finish right before school and he had signed up so that we would be at the same school and even were in two classes together. I kept in touch with him via phone whenever he could but last week he too was killed in a car crash during my vacation over here in the states right before he could even make it home from the airport by a supposed drunk driver. Now I have the wonderful joy of going over to his funeral.


tl;dr: My dog died when I was on vacation and as if that wasn't enough, my friend who served in Iraq died in a car crash.

    I've been very lucky in life. I've had two siblings go to Iraq and come back unharmed. I've never had anybody close to me die prematurely. There was a stretch of 20 months in college when three of my grandparents died, but they were all about 90 years old, so it was not unexpected.

    I've been very lucky in life.

    what about that time I killed your mother?

    what you think this isn't true?

    have you called her in the last 5 minutes?

    I've decided I don't know enough about classic literature

    so I'm taking world lit

    but reading the entire book, not just the assigned text

    Not a terribly sad story but it made me feel kind of sad.

    Me and another friend went over to our mutual friend's house yesterday looking for a 360 controller we left there. We're like family so even though no one was home we just went in, they dont lock up. While we were there our friend's little brother's girlfriend stops by and she's feeding her dog which is staying there.

    Me and my friend were just talking to her and this girl is just a flat out sweetheart, kind, cute, extremely innocent and won't drink or smoke, girl doesn't even use curse words at all. Just the sweetest kindest girl I can remember meeting in a long time. I'm not interested in her, she's too young for me but she's a sweetheart.

    We were all just killin time talking and we found out about all her moral decisions? and my friend was like,

    Friend
    - "Wow, you're nothing like Daniel (her boyfriend), how does that work out?"
    Her - "... really? :?"
    Friend - "Uh... y-yeah? I always just assumed you were always partying with him and drank like him and, I mean look at his room, there are dip cups everywhere"
    Her - "No.. I mean... I know he has before but, well, he I didn't think he did regularly"
    Friend - "I mean it's not my place to say but uh.. yeah.
    Her - We've been dating a year and it seems everyday I'm find out more bad news about him"

    So I was sad :(

    But again, not a terribly mortifying story, just kinda made me feel bad for her.
