daWn of tHe deaD.

Just one week ago at this time of 10:45 I was with Rhett Bell for the very last time. It was the last time I felt the presence of his soul with mine. It was at Brenda's suprise birthday party at John Hanson's house. Everybody went to see the midnight movies except me. I had to go to work in the morning. The last movie Rhett saw at the Fox was "Dawn of the Dead" . It was Friday the 13th. I'm going to start swimming Monday. I think it will be hard. An article that Mr. Williams wrote talked about Rhett in "The Country News". It had a picture of Rhett as a freshman. I didnt really know him then. Mr. Williams talked about reading a final report that brought tears to his eyes reading it. I have the report that Rhett worte and it was about Rhett's interest in a carreer. Rhett had wanted to be a specialist in the field of medicine. One reason of the two was that specialists make alot of money. The other was most important to him, quoting from his paper, it read: "Becoming a physician is a career that I have chosen to study because I enjoy helping other people and I am very interested in science and medicine". I felt sad after reading his paper because he'll never have the chance to live up to his dream. He was trying to get to it when he lived.

I love you Rhett.
