too many funerals.
i went to see dennis aunt in a coma last week, she had a stroke. 2 days later she died. so i was at his aunts for 3 days pretty much. his cousin, the only child, now has no parents. he is 21, his dad died a long time ago and now his mom is gone, the funeral was so sad, i cried. they wrap up the body and then the family comes to say goodbye and his cousin just kissed her forehead for so long, crying so hard, and it was heartbreaking.

today his uncle died. i feel so sad for him and his family. he says he is okay but i cant help but feel completely so sad. im not sure if i will go to this funeral. i dont think so.

anyways. at his aunts funeral i met this girl, 17 years old, the daughter of their housecleaner. its very strange for a teenager to have a job, but she does, because 1 year ago her dad passed away and they dont have any money, she had to drop out of school and not graduate. she only has one year left. i want to pay for her. its only 15 canadian a month, im gonna do it for sure.

so i was thinking, this is a very very small price and denni lives in a poor neighbourhood and im positive there are kids tthat cant afford school, so if anyone has a sweet nice heart and can spare 15-20 a month let me know, and i will see what i can do with these kids. i would and im sure they would appreciate like crazy, i could take photos of the kids and get them to write letters to you and stuff.

yeah, i think thats the least i could do to help. so if anyone else wants to PLEASE let me know.

other than that, im good, happy, swell. not coming home in september and will be staying another year. but ilove and miss you guys like crazy...
much love
