I still cannot believe this has happened. It doesn't feel like it is real. Seeing her smiling face show up on the news is unreal. I don't know why such horrible things have to happen to such wonderful people. She had a bright, amazing future ahead of her.
She wasn't in my tight circle of friends but I was involved in a few of the same organizations with her and she attended my church. She was always positive and either smiling or laughing. And she was always nice to me. Everyone loved her.
When these kind of things hit close to home it just makes you appreciate everything in your life so much more. It made me want to tell all of my friends that I love them. I even apologized to one of my friends for being a jerk to him recently. It had for been hanging over my head for the past two days. And if you don't know me, I'm absolutely horrible at saying, "I'm sorry".
You can't live your life with regrets.
Suddenly the little things in life don't seem so important anymore. Or do they matter even more? I guess it depends on what the little things are.
I can't even begin to imagine what her sister is going through. They were sooo close, best friends, a lot like my brother and I. So I know it's going to be a long healing process for her and the family.
Just a few quotes..
"The minute you think you're going to lose something, it suddenly becomes the most important thing in your life."
"There will be two dates on your tombstone
everyone will read them, but the only thing
that matters is the little dash between them."
"Sometimes you'll never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory."
"Everyone knows we are all going to die, but I don't think that anyone believes it.
I think if they did, they would be doing things a whole lot differently."
You may never know how much you mean to another person..So let people know how much you care about them.
