Hugh called me early this morning to let me know that our sister Haley died last night. I don't know what happened, she wasn't that old so there must've been some reason for it other than old age. With starting classes at a university, I was already missing my parents and now my sister is gone too. I'm so busy with classes and studying I haven't even been able to see Hugh since I moved closer to campus and I miss him, too. At least I have a cool roommate. She and I have hit it off really well and have become good friends.
My classes aren't bad and I'm doing well. I should be getting grades soon, but I'm not nervous about that because I've been keeping up with everything other than a term paper I just realized today that I need to write. It won't be a problem though because I'm starting on that now and should be able to get the rough draft done tonight.
Being on my own, I'm extra grateful for the family money Hugh and I have inherited. I knew I was lucky and never felt like I took the money for granted (even though it's over a million), but having to take care of all the expenses on my own sure has opened my eyes to how much everything costs and how much it all takes. I understand more now why Hugh wanted me to come here. I'm lucky to have him looking out for me. I hope he knows how much I appreciate him.
