Every time I hear of a death this year, I think of those near to my heart that have died.
It's painful to be reminded that we all eventually die. We all face tragedy, suffering, and heartbreak. I was reminded last night and today that it is how we handle all this that defines us. How we live is what makes us who we truly are. Something to the effect.
To those I've lost personally-- Amy, Grandpa, Uncle B, Grandma--just know that I still think of you and love you dearly.
To those that have passed this year, this summer, thank you for what you have given us.
I have memories of you, either personal or those I've heard from those close to you, and I will keep them in my heart.

Do you know what it's like to grow up in a nightmare? I mean true, horror that no child should ever have to face? I do. From birth, I was constantly abandoned and tossed around. I have lived out of suitcases for 20 out of my 25 years. I have lived in the... read entire post
