A/N-PLEASE READ!!!!! This is just a Authors note!!! I know that most people don't bother reading these but I would appreciate if you guys took a couple of minutes to read this!
Its going to be a while until I get a chance to update this story, and I'm going to tell you why.
Sunday night at 8 o'clock, my mom got a call from the police after my sister had missed curfew. My sister had been pulled out of the river and was on her way to children's hospital, and her friend was missing. My sister had slight hypothermia but was giving information to police.
Now before I go any further, my sister and her friend were NOT allowed to be anywhere near the river!! They went without permission and didn't tell anyone (except her friends brothers! We didn't find this out until after the call).
They were only at the river because my sisters friend wanted to get his feet wet, but a boat and a jet ski went past causing the boy to get knocked into the water. Her friend could not swim and my sister had told him not to go so far into the water. After he was pulled under, my sister (who only knows how to doggy paddle, but has to keep her nose plugged) went in after him. She had a hold of his hand (the part of the river they where in was 15 feet deep) but his hand slipped. Now I'm not going to go into anymore details after that because every time I think about it I get very emotional. Her friend did drown. It has been tough the past couple of days. An officer (who was so patient and very very nice and just unbelievably great) came to get her side of the story on Monday, and then yesterday my mom had two grief counselors come over and talk to my sister. I haven't gotten much sleep over the past 2 days because my sister is afraid to fall asleep so she has asked me to try and stay up with her.
I would like all of you reading to pray for the boys family! They are going through hell right now! I can't even imagine if I had lost my sister!
I'd like all of you to know that my sister is doing okay! All she has is a cold and of course its never easy dealing with the death of a friend, espically when she was. She thinks she should have done more, but she did everything in her power to try and save him.
Again I know this isn't going to bring him back, but please pray for the boys family!
Thank You,
Becca
