On October 17, 2007, I received a phone call from my friend Ashley telling me that a girl we know named Jaquessa died that morning giving birth. My heart filled with sorrow, I couldn't control the tears. I had so much I wanted to say to this girl, so much yet to do. Jacquessa is the 3rd person I know that died this year--my cousin Darnarius and Ashley's son died in June.
I have known Jaquessa since middle school. She was a good girl at Parkway middle and was very pretty. When we left middle school, we went to different high schools and loss contact. I never thought she'd be apart of my life again. In January 2006, I stumbled on her myspace page. We became associates, as we shared the same interest. She wanted to model and had a few professional pictures on her page. She was so beautiful.
Our friendship fell apart again over a slight misunderstanding, which nearly led to a fight. I was at fault and I wanted to apologize but I thought it would be best to give her time to get over our dispute. I wish I had apologized sooner. Now I never will. I had no idea that she would be gone so soon.
