November 30, 2013, Paul Walker and his friend, Roger Rodas lost their lives in a car accident. Paul Walker was one of my favorite actors, and I am shocked and saddened by his death. My thoughts and prayers are with both of their families and friends, but my prayers are especially with Paul Walker’s 15 year old daughter and if Roger Rodas had any children . I know how it is to lose a parent at an early age. If you know me personally you know I lost my parents at a young age. My mom passed away when I was only five years old, and 8 years later, when I was 13, my dad passed away.
It’s always hard to lose a parent, but it especially hard
losing a parent when you are still a child. Your parents are supposed to see
you grow up. See you graduate high school, get married, and etc. There is no
way I can tell you on how to deal with a death of a parent. Everyone grieves
differently. If I can give one piece of advice, find someone to talk to. Do not
bottle up your feelings. I did not know what was going on when I was 5, but
when my dad died, I was fully aware of it. My dad died right before summer
break, so that summer I did absolutely nothing, and did not talk to anyone. I
bottled my feelings up. It got to the point I became angry, and my mamaw, who
did nothing wrong, got the brunt of my outburst. I blew up on her for nothing. She
was only trying to help me, and I couldn’t at the time comprehend that. I even
wrote that I hated her, and of course, she found it. I didn’t find out until I
was older that she found it, and it hurt her. No matter how many times I said I
was sorry, I could see the hurt on her face. I believe if I would have not bottled
up my feelings, I would not have become angry therefore I wouldn’t have blown
up on my mamaw. If you have lost a parent and have no one to talk to. Feel free
to contact me by commenting down below or send me an email. I am a very good
person to talk to. I tend to just let a person talk, and I will ask no
questions.
Even though I know how it is to lose parent, I have no clue
what Paul Walker’s daughter must be going through. Her dad’s death being
splashed all over the internet and news. It has to make it harder than usual. I
see the reports and I couldn’t image reading those things about my parents. This
should be a private time for her and her family to grieve a death of a love
one. Until here recently, I did not know all the details about my father’s
passing. My family kept certain things from me because they knew at 13 I could
not handle some of the details, but she can go on the internet and find out all
the details, and see all the rumors about her death. She needs to remember her
father for who she knew he was, not for what the news is reporting. I have said
this time and time again when a celebrity dies and there is negative press
about them, watch what you say people. Yes, they are celebrities, but they have
family that are grieving and DO NOT need to read stuff like that. People are insensitive sometimes. I don’t
think they actually think about it before posting it.
Before this becomes a rant on social media (a whole
different blog post) and lose this one’s intended meaning. I am going to wrap
it up here. If you have lost a parent, you know how I feel about the loss of a
parent. If your parents are still alive go give them a hug. Tell them what they
mean to you. Call them if you haven’t talked to them in a while. You never know
how long they are going to be here.
