Ok everyone...
I need to just talk, anonymously, because as far as I know, none of you know me in person...
This is something close to me and I hate to burden it on anyone, but I need to just get it out, so I chose an internet forum to type away in...
It is almost March 29th...March 29th last year was Good Friday, my brothers 24th birthday, and they day 3 young people I knew passed away..1 very close to me and my family ( my brothers best friend, a friend who looked up to my husband and was part of my "family"..
Josh Canada was the life of the party, was negative ALWAYS in a joking way to make people laugh, loved music, loved old cars,and most of all was true to those close to him.Josh was refered to as "one of the boys".. The boys went out to the bar that Thursday night..From what I know ( there was 1 survivor who was also a very good friend ) Josh was the designated driver..Josh did drink and went to one of the other victims dads house to sleep, they partied a bit more and Josh did fall asleep, around 4 am, Josh woke up and got 3 others into the car to go back home ( approx 6 miles away ) so he could go to work..Josh made it about 1 mile and missed a very sharp S curve on a gravel roadthink he died instantly from the impact with the embankment, we are not sure..we like to think he did not slowly die in the flooded drainage ditch likr the other 2 victims did...Martin lived with only a few stitches and hypothermia, they were in that cold, flooded water for almost 2 hours before any passer bys realized it..I was at work and thought about Josh..every time I do , something out of the ordinary happens...I think he lets me know he is ok by doing this...but this is part of my healing process..it is even harder on my husband and brother..my husband cries but never speaks of it..my brother let his alcoholism take over and has not been seen since I kicked him out last September ..no onehas seen him, not even his daughter borne by his ex in October of 2002..I went on a downward spiral..but have been doing well since November 2002..I wont go into detail because it is not what this post is about. I just needed to type to remember Josh and the other 2 I knew, but not as well ( Roger Lewis and Jerry Branham )


In honor of you Josh, we will never let the music die...R.I.P. buddy...someday we will see you again, we know you will be there to drive us crazy with your arms open wide...

Time passes , but your memory never fades away...

she says oh, it's so hard to love when
love was your great disappointment

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.
People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well listen to this.
I am Mister Ed
