Missed Everyday!

This is the story of me and my best friend we met in first grade we were so young and did everything together as the years went bye so did our lives I got pregnant with my first child at 19 and we started seeing less of each other but always found the time to talk know matter what we talked everyday just about and it always was exciting to hear what new jokes she has for me to hear or to just tell me she missed me. Well her mom passed away not too long after that and she became very stressed and sick herself she starting loosening wight and just looked unhealthy she never really told me what was wrong with her health she said she was just exercising but I didn't believe her I wanted to . But I new something was wrong with her .as time went by she had her first child .and then I had my second we grew more apart meaning only seen each other once or twice a year but always still talked for hours just about every day we still always have had that bound with each other she was not only my best friend but my sister my everything I loved her with all my heart well my second sons birthday came up and she came over to celebrate her first birthday with me we had so much fun I dropped her off home after the party and a few days had past by. Than that November it was a day like no other she calls me but I don't pick up the phone for some reason that I just didn't feel like talking but we had those days we all do what I regret everyday is that I should of picked up but instead she text-ed me and I text-ed her back she asks how am doing and tells me how shes been sick lately and keeps coughing a lot and so I tell her to go to the doctors and take care of her self and to call me tomorrow so she started to tell me that she loves me so much and that i am such a good friend I tell her the same we hung up well the next day I woke up went to work came home and fell asleep the day after I get a phone call and its her boyfriend he started to cry and I new something was wrong he says to me i am sorry but Michelle is gone she died in the bath tub I didn't want to believe it that was my best friend my everything . Her family says she had a heart attack and drowned in the water . I will always live with this regret of not picking up the phone but I thank god everyday that I got to hear for the last time how much of a friend I was to her and how much she loved me please if you have someone like this in your life tell them everyday you just never know what could happened to them she has been gone for 2 years now and my life has never been the same I love her and miss her dearly ..
