A little off subject...

Not just a little, a lot off subject.
I need to mention this because as of last it has been the main thing consuming my life.

On early Wednesday morning, my cousin was involved in a car accident that unfortunately killed her best friend and left her with various injuries.

My cousin physically will be okay in time, but I do not say the same emotionally.

She is one of the most selfless human beings you could ever meet. She was an accomplished athlete and student, but most of all, she loved life. She loved her family, she loved her friends.
No one, I mean no one, deserves this sort of pain. The moment I found out what happened my heart immediately broke for her and it has been broken since.

After seeing her this morning at her friend's funeral my heart ached even more. My poor uncle and aunt have been a wreck just worrying for her emotional state. My aunt turned to my sister this morning and said "It could have been her". Upon hearing those words, I broke down completely. She's right. It could have been.
And how fortunate and lucky are we that she is still with us today. I can't begin to tell you how lucky my family is.

I was able to say three words to her today and they were "I love you".
But if she was here in front of me, this is what I would say
"It was an accident, no one is to blame. It is the reason why they call it an accident"

I don't mean to change the whole tune of this blog, but I want you all to realize what I realized on Wednesday.
Life is too precious to get aggravated over the little things. Appreciate your family, your friends, because in an instant, it could all be gone. Don't worry about being overcharged for the shirt you thought was on sale. You have your health, be happy.

Megs, I love you so much, I am praying for you and please know if you need anything, I am always here for you!
