Wow i haven't blogged in a really long time... no worries though.
This past week has shown me how life can change in an absolute instant and there really is nothing you can do to stop it. If you haven't heard four people were murdered this week, two in Brockport and two in Canadaguia (sorry if I spelled that wrong I always do). But regardless the two people who were murdered in Canadaguia were one of my best friends dad and step-mom. I mean you hear about stuff happening like this all the time but you never think that it could happen to someone you're so close to. When he first told me what happened I didn't even believe him because it just seemed like something like that could never really happen. Just a few weeks ago me and my friend and his dad went hiking and it was so much fun. Regardless I was heartbroken, his dad and step-mom were possibly some of the sweetest people I've ever met and were always so nice to me whenever I came over, and it's not even like his dad died of a disease or natural causes, they were shot in their own home with their own kids locked in the next room listening. I don't even understand how someone could do that to someone else and not even just them but their whole family, I find it so disturbing and excuse my language but really fucked up.
I personally don't have a lot of experience with death so I had no idea how to comfort him, and it's not like there's much you can for someone after something as traumatic as this happens. I've never been to calling hours or a funeral before but I went to both this week and it was by far one of the most awful things I've ever been to. The calling hours were just so surreal and when you look at their coffins sitting there you just think to yourself "Holy shit their bodies are in there". I went with all of his roommates and they told me that calling hours were way worse then the funeral so I should be okay there but that definitely is not true. The funeral was by far the worst thing I've ever been to. To hear someone's kids talk about how much they miss their mom and dad and how they don't understand why this is happening is so disturbing. Their youngest daughter collapsed on the stage in tears and it just broke my heart.
The funeral was held in a church which weirded me out even more ( sorry if this offends anyone I just personally have a lot of issues with religion in general). I don't understand how there can be a God when things like this happen to people who are so undeserving of them. My heart breaks for them and their entire family and I don't know how I could even go on if it was one of my parents..

RIP Christopher and Kimberly Glatz.... you will never be forgotten:(
