Life is Short...

Too many people have been lost. As I sit here and say goodbye to yet another high school alum, I think about the days when we were all innocent and had the rest of our lives ahead of us. I think about all the familiar faces and how much time has passed. I think about how much people have changed throughout the years. How different I perceived their life turning out to be. How different they probably thought their life would be. I feel sad for those that were lost along the way and my heart aches for those who are just as lost as I am. Growing up is a very weird experience. For some it can destroy them. For others it can take them places they never expected or predicted. Personally I try my best to look at each day as a new beginning. A new opportunity to fulfill dreams and goals. Looking back through my yearbook, there are too many faces that have disappeared, lost in the world or up above watching over us. It only breaks my heart even more to know that more and more will slowly fade away. I guess you expect to lose people in your life, I only wish it wasn't at such young ages. They all had so much a head of them. They also had dreams and goals they wanted to accomplish, and just like that, they are gone. Life is short. Too short. So take the time to tell the ones you love that you love them. Cherish the memories we make every day. Live each day as though it's your last. Make every second count. Above all have no regrets.

RIP Jesse, Kelcie, Devin, Casie, Ryan, Mike, Henry, Paul, Danny, Ashlyn, and anyone else that was taken far too young.
