The Highs and the... no just Highs

Today we remember a beautiful girl who we lost exactly a year ago.  Today is a day we smile because we knew her and can live in those memories forever.  Today we laugh at the times we shared and remember that she would want nothing more than for everyone to love the time we had with her.  Today is not a day where I am sad, but a day where I celebrate her life and the glow she had living it.  Within a year her story of high spirits has spread across the country.  She reminds us to live for the day and appreciate what we have.  I want to thank you Holly for being part of my life and teaching me a lesson I learn from everyday.  In that I don't think of this as the day she left us, but the day where we commit to living a different way in her honor.  Her story is so powerful and I'm glad I can spread it.  
We miss you out on that dance floor Hol, especially last night.  We danced for fun just like we always did. Each step out of love for what we were doing, and in honor of you!  You will forever be part of me when I step out onto the hardwood and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I dance for myself and now, for you.  That we will always share.  
We will keep on lovin' life in remembrance of you Hol. In all the sparkle and fabulousness! Miss you and want you to know how truly blessed I feel to have known such an amazing girl!
