I answered the phone as your sister just found out that you, her 15 year old sister, had shot yourself in the head. I assured her through her frantic & terrified sobs that help was already on the way to you. I did my best to try and calm her down because she was determined to get to you. She hung up on me to talk to your dad. I cried for you and her both on my 45 minute ride home. I cried for your mom as I pulled my 12 year old daughter into my arms and cried as I held her and told her I love her. I don't know your name but I will never forget you or your sister.
