My Best Friend in RW and IW is my daughter,known IW as Mystik Crystal . She joined Vzones with me in August of 1998 so,as she put it, "We can still play together even tho we are miles apart." She is my life, my world, my sanity and my strength. Through my husband's (her daddy) long illlness, she has been right by my side. With a smile or just a touch of her hand, she can make me feel like I am the most special person in the world. While, I say she put her own world on hold to move in with me to help take care of her Father. She will say she is the lucky one,that she was able to do it and share those times and be a part of it. She is a daily reminder of the love and hope and dreams my husband and I shared. I thank God for this blessing and I want her to know that I love her with all my heart and soul. Mahalo, Kalona |

Almost a year ago, I met a very special person here in Worldsaway. She listens to me whenever I need to vent- and always offers me an honest and candid opinion- whether i want to hear it or not :)..She's talked me though breakups, problems with my mother, problems with my job- and countless other petty problems most of us face everyday- but who dont all have someone to listen..I cant wait to meet her in the realworld- just so face to face I can tell her how much she means to me...I wrote a poem that doesn't even come close to how I feel- but I think its a pretty good try... Friendship's are so much like flowers, They start with just a single seed. Unwithering with encouraging showers, Unbroken by any weeds.. While sprinkling it with gentle words, A transformation will soon show. Catching the eye of every bird, With Beauty we shall know. Friendships are so much like flowers, Blooming all the time. Similar, and yet so different. Each one like a chime. You're always there when i need you With an honest answer- pure and true Whether I want to hear it or not- I listen Cause its from you... As our friendship takes it's root, All our efforts will show... How much we put into it now- Tomorrow we will know! It will be obvious to me to see, That through thick and thin, I've been blessed by a beautiful flower That will always stand next to me. Yes Shaylyn- this poems for you You brighten up my life Thank You Shay, You make me laugh and make my troubles shine... Love Always, Stef |

From the very first day I met him, I knew that Eli would be someone very special in my life. I first met him the summer before my Freshman year. A mutual friend introduced us, and we immediately hit it off. The next couple of years were spent sharing a friendship like I had never had with any other guy. He was never my boyfriend; He was much more important to me than any boyfriend could ever be. We often had lunch together, had longer conversations in and out of class. My best female friend, since elementary school, was Anacani. She was so perfect in every way. Physically, I couldn't compare. Intellectually, I was nothing compared to her. I had spent years watching boys fight over her, sometimes literally. Other times, boys would befriend my just to get closer to her. Of course, I never faulted her. Nature wanted it this way. She was still my best friend, and one of the kindest people I had ever know. Still, living in the shadow of her beauty was never much fun for me. I never let it get me down. What does this have to do with Eli? Eli was the first, and only male to this day, to see passed her beauty, and my lack there of. He would hug me, say Hi to me, walk me to and from classes. It was as if Anacani wasn't there. One day, I asked him why he was this way. Why he chose me as a friend over her when she was so perfect. He answered, "Because you have something she never will. You're nice to everyone, you're funny... and I know you don't believe it, but you're very pretty, too." Around the middle of our sophomore year, Anacani and I got into a huge argument that resulted in the end of our friendship. We didn't speak to each other for the rest of the year. I missed her a lot, but was too stubborn to tell her and put and end to our pettiness. But I still had Eli, and was content with that. Summer came, and I didn't see much of Anacani or Eli. I had my first job, and whole new batch of friends to keep me busy. July 17, 1996 started off like any other day that summer. I walked out to the porch to pick up the newspaper in hopes of helping my Mom find a new job. As I unrolled the newspaper, I saw a picture of Eli and smiled. "Maybe he won an award!" I thought to myself. I couldn't have been more wrong. The headline read "Teen Driver Loses Battle For Life." I felt my heart sink as I stared down at the heading. I stared blankly at the page for nearly an hour, completely numb to anything going on around me. It was as if my entire world was collapsing around me. When it hit me, I couldn't stop crying. I sobbed uncontrollably for the remainder of the day. And my sorrow and inability to function normally lasted for a few days after the terrible news. The Monday after the accident, the telephone rang. My mother picked it up and told me that Anacani was on the other side. Those words that we spoke to each other were the first in nearly 5 months. We talked, and mostly cried. That summer marked the beginning of a very tragic year for myself, my friends, and my school. Apart from Eli, 4 other students at my school died that year. All tragic, and all long before their time. If I hadn't had Anacani there for comfort and support, I don't know whether or not I would have survived that year. Sadly it took the death of a very close friend to bring us back together. Eli made us realize that life is too short for grudges and petty arguments. Even after his death, Eli has affected my life more than any other person I have met outside of my family. I still think about him on a daily basis, and pass by the site of the accident to pay my respects. I feel that he watches over me from up above, takes care of me, and speaks to me; My guardian Angel. I still love him dearly and miss him with every being of my soul. He was my most cherished friend, and will live inside of me until I can be with him again. I just wish I would have had the chance to say Good-bye, and to thank him for everything he has done for me. I love you, Eli. |
