Girl drowns in Saluda River

I was Nasjma's first cousin.I was so upset when i found out the news.It was so sad and our family and i had just got over a death of a grandfather who had just passed away in March of 2007.Then just a few months later i here about Nasjma dying and i feel so strange.Oh!!! it wouldn't let me sleep at night i was so dissapointed i kept getting scared to close my eyes at night!!!It was terrible i couldn't get over what had just happened to my first cousin.She was a joy to have in the family always brought comedy when someone was feeling down.As family we felt as if that she was a gift to have upon the earth.Most of the family thought that but i knew she was.Since she was always bringing comedy to the family when someone else was down we always made her feel better when she was down it was a priority!This was a terrible tragedy that happened to the family most people took it very hard,why i remember when all those people were crying at the vigual that we held at the party rock at the saluda river.As the days rolled on everyone seemed to get over it.But i knew way deep down that i might be the only one who wasn't getting back into the swing of things.I felt very weird and strange inside as though i had to tell someone about it.Finally i couldn't hold it in to myself i had to tell my mom and dad.They talked with me,i kind've felt a little better with the sleeping problem.Finally one day i got over it and here i am today.To this day sometimes when i'm alone and have nothing to do i sometimes think and cherish those great moments that we had together playing around up until the day that she drowned.This thoughtful message came from a ten year old girl me that was younger than she was!!!!!!!!!!
