WOW....ITS AMAZING. I REALLY THINK PEOPLE SHOULD DO MORE REACHING OUT AND TOUCHING RATHER THAN REACHING OUT AND TEXTING. AFTER FINDING A LONG LOST FRIEND OF MINE, AND FINDING OUT THAT SHE HAD THE BAD FORTUNE OF ENDURING AND SURVIVING A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK AND STROKE THAT LEFT HER PARALYZED ON HER RIGHT SIDE AND IN A WHEELCHAIR FOR LIFE. WE WERE ABLE TO REKINDLING OUR FRIENDSHIP AFTER A LONG DISTANCE PHONE CALL. ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE AGAIN, WE WOULD TALK ALMOST ENDLESSLY, VIA CELL PHONE, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, REMINISCING ABOUT THE DAYS OF OUR PAST AND BRINGING EACH OTHER UP TO DATE IN EACH OTHERS LIFE. CASSANDRA DORSEY AND I MET AT AUBURN WHEN SHE TRANSFERRED FROM THE UNIV. OF ALABAMA. WE BOTH DECIDED AUBURN WAS NO LONGER A PLACE WE COULD REACH OUR DREAMS OF BEING ENTREPRENUERS. SO WE DECIDED TO TRY ATLANTA!! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE BIG CITY OFFERED MORE FOR US,WET-BEHIND-THE -EARS COUNTRY GIRLS!! WE GOT IN ALL KINDA TROUBLE!! THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MANY CHANGES IN MY LIFE AND FROM THAT, MY LIFE TOOK A TURN. IT WASNT A GOOD TURN FOR NEITHER OF US AND IT TOOK YEARS TO RECOVER FROM IT, BUT WHATEVER THE DEVIL MEANT FOR BAD, GOD MADE IT GOOD FOR BOTH OF US, IN THE END. OF COURSE WE OUTGREW EACH OTHER AND WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS BUT ALWAYS KEEP IN TOUCH. AFTER I FOUND OUT, FROM A MUTUAL FRIEND IN ATL., CASSANDRA HAD HAD A STOKE AND HEART ATTACK, AND FOUND HERSELF BACK IN ATLANTA, IN A REHABILITATION RESIDENCE, OUR COMMUNICATION CONTINUED. LAST TIME I TALKED TO CASSANDRA, SHE WAS HAPPY ABOUT COMING HOME FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS TO OPELIKA , AL., HER HOMETOWN. I WAS HAPPY FOR HER BECAUSE SHE LONGED TO SEE HER MOM, SON, GRANDKIDS, AND FAMILY AND FRIENDS...MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO SEE ME, BEING SO CLOSE IN PROXIMITY. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST CONTACT AGAIN. SHE COULD NEVER KEEP HER PHONE ON, A JOKE WE LAUGHED AT OFTEN. BUT WHEN IT HAD OCCURED TO ME THAT I HADNT HEARD FROM HER OVER THE HOLIDAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS A CELL PHONE ISSUE. SO I GO TO HER PAGE ON FACEBOOK TODAY, TO WISH HER A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN HOPE SHED RETURN THE GREETING. AND JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO POST IT, MY EYE CAUGHT A DISTURBING POST THAT PRECEEDED MINE. IT MENTONED HOW PEACEFUL CASSANDRA LOOKED AND HOW THEY WERE GONNA MISS HER. ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS HAD PASSED ON...ON OR AROUND DEC.17, 2014. HER HOMEGOING CELEBRATION WAS ON OR AROUND DEC. 23, 2014. IT HURTS WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE TO SOMEONE AND THEY DIE AND YOU ARE NEVER NOTIFIED. WE WERE TOO CLOSE THAT I WASNT AWARE OF HER PASSING AND FOUND OUT TODAY. THIS MAKES MY NEW YEARS A BIT HEAVY AND TREMENDOUSLY SADDENED. ALTHOUGH I HAVE MANY CRAZY, SILLY MEMORIES OF OUR FOOLISHNESS, BOTH GOOD AND BAD, TO REMIND ME AND KEEP HER SPIRIT ALIVE,I STILL HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY DEAR FRIEND. SO TO CASSANDRA DORSEY....I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE NOW. AND THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE TO BE THAN WITH GOD! HERE ON EARTH WAS TOO HARD FOR YOU. AND ALTHOUGH I COULD NOT BE THERE TO SAY GOODBYES IN PERSON, YOU KNOW I AM SCREAMING FROM MY HEART. JUST KNOW THAT WE HAD THE BEST, CRAZY, HOPEFUL, RECOVERING, SCHOOL RIVILRY HATIN(Auburn/Alabama), GONNA START AND YOU MANAGE MY BUSINESS, DAYS AT HATTIE Qs(your grandmothers) HOUSE DRINKING COOL DELICIOUS WELL WATER, RUNNING AND HIDING FROM MY PARENTS IN FROM MY PARENTS IN ATLANTA, DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT AND SELF-DESTRUCTING, ONLY TO FIND GOD AND COME BACK TO OUR SENSES AND TO OUR FRIENDSHIP....WITH EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN!!! I THANK YOU FOR SHARING SOME OF YOUR BEST TIMES IN LIFE WITH ME. AND FOR ALL THE RECENT LATE NIGHT/EARLYMORNING TALKS WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING IT CARING FOR MY MOTHER, ALL THE TIME, FOR A MINUTE. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE AND LISTENING!! YOU REST IN PEACE, MY FRIEND. NO MORE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. IT IS DONE!! I WILL HOLLABACK WHEN I GET THERE. I LOVE YOU....AND HAPPY NEW YEARS, ANYWAY!!!! #How do I say goodbye to yesterday.#Thick as thieves.#ZetaPhiBeta. # I owe you a shirt!! #R.I.P.
