Another One Bites the Dust

Beep....beep....beep....be....click....
No! You can't do this to me! I need you, you can't let go! Keep trying, I believe in you!!
Fact about me: I am not very good with technology. End of story.
I have had the same cell phone since high school, which also happens to be the same cell phone that my older sister had all through high school.
Basically it's pretty old.
Why do I keep it?
Because it's the only phone that I know how to do the only two things that I need to do on a cell phone; call and text.
I know how to use it and I really have no interest in checking my facebook from my phone, or any other fancy gadgets for that matter.
I love this phone, it's so simple and small. I have so many memories of phone calls made, dropping it and it surviving, it going off in class, sharing it with my sister for a couple of years...
It's pretty much indestructible... or so I thought.
Until today.
Its been a slow and painful process. He is so strong though, he keeps fighting. On and off and on and off, struggling for life.
"You can do it!" I encourage, but it's only a matter of time.
So sad.
"First Gilligan, and now you?"
I talked to my dad on my roommate's phone, and he said, "Suzanne, I know it's hard, but it's time for a new phone."
How could I possibly replace you, phone? I need you! I can't live without you!
*Sniff*
