We used to walk home every day
After school when the school bell rang
We had so much fun we used to play
Until the day I heard the big loud bang

I didn't even realize you were in a hospital
How selfish am I
I didn't know, I'm sorry, I'm accidental
And then I the goodbye in your eye

Remember when we played
cause I do
We messed with the maid
and put glue in her shoe

So today we honor a girl named Paige
Who passed at a young age

My friend Paige passed away last year on 2/28/13. She had cancer, but she fought it to the very end. We all honor her by wearing orange on the day she passed.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&ldquo;My heart always timidly hides itself behind my mind. I set out to bring down stars from the sky, then, for fear of ridicule, I stop and pick little flowers of eloquence.&rdquo; <br /> ― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac
