Sorry guys, I know it's been forever. A lot has happened. I could write about so many things but there is one main thing on my mind. I worked with a girl named Amber during the summer. Well on Thursday she was checking out after a looong summer in NY. The checkout was in Nashville, and from there she was going to go down to Destin with some other people from the company. She headed out and was around the Birmingham area. She and two other girls got into a pretty bad car wreck. The other two girls turned out with a couple minor injuries, but Amber suffered major head trauma. They told me last night that the only thing sustaining her pulse was some medication. If she didn't have the medication it would be over. So last night all of her friends and family had to say goodbye to her.
That really opened my eyes because of how close in age she was. This is the first time that a friend of mine, who was about my age passed away. It's mind blowing. We always said to work each day as if it was our last. To give 100% everyday and to never give up. Now it's strange that these things can happen to anyone. It's been tough for me to think about her family and friends from Southwestern that really cared about her. I can't imagine talking to her in the morning and then realizing that it would be the last time.
If you would, just keep her family and everyone who knew her in your prayers. She was an awesome girl and always so encouraging.

I'm sad for you, and for the family that is now dealing with something so unexpected. This sounds really cheesy, but this is a reminder of how fragile life is, and how often many of us take each day for granted. Hopefully, her memory will serve as a reminder to take each day as a gift.
