I REMEMBER THAT DAY LIKE IS WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO.... IT WAS DURING THE TALENT SHOW... & SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS GOING TO THE BATHROOM & ASKED IF I WANTED TO GO TOO (OF COURSE I SAID NO AND SHE NEVER CAME BACK)! HIT ME HARD AND STAYED WITH ME THROUGH THE YEARS! OFTEN WONDERED IF SHE'D BE ALIVE TODAY IF I WENT WITH HER!We can't know why some things happen... but we can know that love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief. and we can know that there's a place inside the heart where love lives always... and where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten...
