The Sarkis family

How are you doing? Are you okay? Is everything all right? .. These are the questions I have been asked continuously the whole day. The truth is , No I am not not all right , I am not okay and I am definitely not coping. Today I was told that a boy I grew up with and spent nearly every day with, passed away in a car accident.

Now even though I haven't seen him in a while, it broke me. My heart feels like it has been ripped apart. He was like a brother to me. They were considered family and now he is gone , just like that, snatched away.

The first thing that popped into my mind when I received the news was one summer we spentt with them at Granny Mo and Uncle Ivor (His grandparents) and how we were having an amazing time on the slippery slide also riding our bikes around the tennis court ..I remember how happy he was and how he used to smile, it makes me remember Elan, I wish I could fast forward back and cherish those moments more than I originally did. But I accept that I am not able too.

Jed, Keep fighting baby boy, don't give up, You are in all of our prayers and I believe in you, You just keep fgihting and give them hell <3

My condolences go out to the Sarkis family and I am extremely sorry about your loss. May Elan rest in peace with Granny Mo for eternity <3

Rest In Peace Elan Sarkis , you will be dearly missed and forever loved <3

Introducing me :)

So I've sat here for 20 minutes writing and erasing sentence after sentence, trying to figure out how to begin and what to say. I'm not very experienced in this department and as my Blog name states, I tend to ramble on and not think very clearly. So how about an introduction?

My name is Simonne Lodewijks , I am 16 years old and I am currently a student in high school.

I live with my mother as my parents are divorced and my father currently works in Lesotho, he comes up for a couple of days at the end of every month and time spent with him is cherished. 

Many would say that divorce only deals with negativity but I feel the opposite has happened with me. I'm not saying that I would have it this way but in a way I'm happier with my life like this. The divorce opened my eyes to a lot of things and helped me form relationships with people I never imagined to. I am very grateful to all those who have stood by and supported me and my family through all the years , so thank you:) .One of the people that I cannot live without , a person who has been there for me and can relate to me is my sister , Nicole, she is one of my best friends and even though we want to kill each other sometimes , I couldn't imagine life without her. I love you Nixx, always have and always will. 

This blog will be a 'diary' on my life, the good , the bad and the ugly :) 

Until next time...
