how I miss her smile and red-curl.


even if I spent years pouring over dictionaries and thesauruses and beautiful poetry - there would not be enough time nor enough words to express how much these people mean to me. I know there isn't near enough time to see everyone while I'm here, but like I mentioned to Meaghan, I'm thankful for even the smallest moment. each moment and memory, whether good or bad, sweet or bitter, create a beautiful mosaic. if it were possible I would hang it on my walls for all to see, but instead I will tuck it away in my heart and try my hardest to let you know how much I care and how thankful I am to count you as part of my story.
