So i knew tonight was the night the Stocker's would hand out the Makenzie Scholarship. Applicants had to write a essay and i had submitted one quite a while ago. I couldn't wait for the Stocker's to hand out the scholarship. I was almost positive it w
ould be Emilie so I didn't have my hopes to high. When the Stocker's went up they began to read the essay of one of the applicants. The essay was mine. I began crying immediately. I went up and received a certificate (two in fact. One that said Kathryn Davis and one that said Katie Davis. They didn't know which name i would prefer on it =]) Then they read a part of another essay and it was Olivia Hatch. And then part of another essay and it was Emilie Finke! I was sooo happy we all three got it. As if t
hat wasn't enough to make my day..... Before i could even see the Stocker's they had left. So had Mitchell (Mak's old boyfriend). When i got in the parking lot my mom gave me a James Avery Bag. She said Mrs. Stocker gave it to her and she was sure i would recognize it. I opened the card first and i began to cry. I knew what was in the box. It was Makenzie's Bracelet. The one Mitchell gave to her for her 17th birthday. She wore it all the time and even had it on at her viewing. I immediately cried. With Mitchell's permission they gave it to me. They even added a charm for me. It says "and lo, i am, with you always". I don't think i have cried this much for a long long time. I am still overwhelmed and may add more to this later. I can not express in words how honored i am to have this. She loved this bracelet so much.
Thank you so much Stocker family and Mitchell. This is most likley the most cherished item i have. I can't express in words how awesome this is. Thank you
