A piece in progress

So when I was a senior in high school my little sister Caitlin had one of her best friends commit suicide. This was hard for her, as it would be for just about anyone.
Anyhow, 4 years later I still see struggle in her eyes because of some events that led up to his suicide. My sister means more to me than anything in the world and to see her hurt and still have a heavy heart makes me hurt.
I felt as though she had never really fully recovered from this incident and I wanted to help.
SO, what I decided to do was interview her about everything from how they met to how she still feels about him committing suicide, try and make it a prevention and a "lesson learned" kind of story and then send it to Seventeen Magazine and see if they wouldn't publish it to help other kids who deal with this kind of stuff.
I decided to write it in such a way that it was in first person, though her eyes, but I wrote it.
Needless to say I sent my cover letter in (which is a paper that tries to "sell" your piece and the things I wanted attach with my piece such as the 5 stages to grieving) and they sent me a letter back saying they are interested but they don't have a spot for it now but they would keep it on file. Perhaps it was an easy way to let me down but even so I still work on the piece every now and then JUST IN CASE and I still find things I am uneasy about in the piece but I would like an outsiders opinion. SO... here ya go!
