We all have witnessed the great events of falling stars or some of us prefer to call it shooting stars in some parts of our lives more than once. These events are awesome. It wouldnt be too hard to find a person who has never witnessed one. We watch the falling of stars amaizingly and think how fascinating those events are. Well certainly they are. Ok those are the stars from the sky but has anyone ever witnessed the falling of shining stars from among us? I am talking about friends or family members of our own. Purhaps some of you have purhaps not! I have witnessed the falling of loved onec from very close.
I met the C family when i worked at the apple beez on route 23. The C family was one of the families who were there every weekend. There were Ashley, Natalie, Rob jr and their father Rob the great ( who helped me thru my USSRL 2007 as well as taught me great lessons about soccer)! Anyways, they used to come for dinner every Saturdays and Sundays after soccer practice. The entire C family was into sports. The mother was a gymnestic teacher, the father used to referee at the local boys soccer league and Ashley, Natalie and Rob were the valuable members of the local boys and girls soccer club. I made friends with them very quick since i am soo much into sports too. Oneday they asked me to come soccer practice with them and thats how little by little i became very close to the C family. Almost like one of the family members, well close enough to make it to the family photo album. The C family was the happiest family i had ever met, until their oldest daughter Ashley, who past away just few days ago from over dosing on drugs while she was pregnent, got mixed up with drugs because of one stupid but big family issue. I am sure whatever it was, it could have been resolved but i guess to her it wasnt as light as it was to me. She had taken it very hard and was doing more and more drugs everyday. She got soo into drugs that in one point she left the house and moved in with the guy who she used to get drugs from. That guy wasnt even her boyfriend. Anywyas, she only didnt bring herself down, she also destroyed Natalie(who commited suicide) and Rob jr( who had become the scariest drug supllier of all). Their parents got divorced. No one knows where Rob is and Mrs Rob got dumped by the guy she was foolling around with. All my effords of trying helping them get back into normal life went worthless. I couldnt do anything but watched them going down one after another. The stars that were shining as bright as the real stars up in the sky had gone down in rite front of my very eyes and i just watched them faded away helplesly.
