I have a friend who is a teenage mother.
Her name is Camille. She is 16 years old.
She gave birth to the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.

no this was not posted to make people sad.
i posted it because i am extremely proud of how strong the mother is being.

Your friend sounds an incredibly strong person for one so young.

[shebleedsacid]

yes, thats why i posted it. she has amazed me with this.

It really upset me when I first read about this on your journal. :/

It's terrible that it takes a tragedy to make people appreciate and realise how prescious what they do have is.

It's frightening how much your friend has been through in only 16 years.

I'm obviously not good with things like this. :\

i did not post this to make people sad.
it was sad at first. we wanted to be strong for camille, but it was hard.

at the funeral, i was being strong, until i saw camille at the casket.

she had her arms spread over him and she was crying kissing his forehead.

at that moment, i couldnt be strong for her.
thats when she needed us the most. but seeing that, i couldnt.

but now, a week later, we have all been doing decent. I have amazing friends that helped me keep my mind off of it. and I'm doing great.

and when i read what camille wrote as his profile, i'm doing much better because of how positive she is being.

Ooh, and thanks for sharing this with us here. We will undoubtedly all send out hopes and prayers to Camille, her family and all who knew him during his short little life, but we'll also take something from this to relate to our own lives and families. Nayte spreads love. :D

Man, this continues to break my heart... Terrible... I can't imagine the pain for the mother... Still a child herself... How can you lose a child when you're a child? Wow...

plus stay strong enough to believe things like that.

Camille is amazing.
And I love her.
and I'm so happy she's strong.
