The funny thing about death is...
it makes you appreciate life and its brevity
its causes you to stop and spend more time with the people around you.
last night i was cleaning my room and i put up the posters i made of Nichole Payne and Nicholas Grants funeral stuff , those two posters have moved 4 times and 3000 miles with me. people have asked me why I carry them around and its to remind me of that life is a gift and tomorrow is never guaranteed. before i was 17 I hadn't lost anyone my age that i was close to or even knew but since then heres the list.
Beckie Walsh-Cousin, camp buddy and childhood bff. reason =cancer
Jason Eisele-classmate and boyfriend of one of my closest friends in high school.reason =car wreck
Nichole Payne-classmate and close friend of alot my friends. reason=car wreck
Allison Brady-classmate pe and health buddy and my first Mormon friend=reason ATV accident
Nicholas Grant-homie for life , part of the Calvary temple youth group and part of one of the best summers of my life.-reason-suicide
Carol Atwood-my high school counselor and the person responsible for me being alive and finished with high school. I owe so much to her and am daily greatful for all she did in my life. reason-not sure
And just today ...Brad Ventura/my hallway friend and the most cheerful and loving people that I have ever met in my life. Brad truly radiated Jesus in way that not many do and I am glad that He is there with the Lord now. RIP Hallway Friend
this isnt even all of it its just wha i could remember off the top of my head. so the moral of this rant is as follows.
Life is a gift , Love fiercely and with no regrets because tomorrow is never promised.
