Times like these are when it's hard for me to understand why God let's tragic things happen.
Why does He end the lives of those who are so young? I think of myself and what if my life ended now? There are so many things left that I want to do, so many things I want to see, and so many people I have yet to meet. It's devastating to see someone's life cut short and for their story to be left unwritten. For those people around them to mourn for such a loss. It seems so unfair for that to happen to people who didn't see it coming. Completely unexpected and unpreventable.
Even though it's hard to take anything away from this besides grief, I now see that my life can be taken from me at any given moment and to cherish every second I have. I will live my everyday to the fullest for those who couldn't.
This is for Holly. Though we haven't seen each other in a while, I will never forget you. Dancing with you was such an honor. I will always remember your positive attitude and bright smile. When people say you lit up a room when you walked in, you really did. You were beautiful and kind, and I always looked up to you for that reason. As the holiday comes near I will continue to pray for your family. May God give them strength and peace through all of this pain. God has a plan for you and as hard as it is to accept you are in a better place.
"And the Lord cares deeply when his loved one dies"

Have a dance with the angels for us, we love you.
