I feel like writing down a few things (I know 2 in one week...wooohooo)



So here we are....Jan 2008....why is that important? To most people it really isn't, it's just another year. But to 17 and 18 year old kids all over the world this is the year they will all be graduating high school (hopefully).  One of the best years of their lives.....can you see where this is going? I'm guessing no...lol. Anyway, this would have also been Courtney's year. I've noticed lots of her friends have photo albums or just photos on their pages that say "Class of 2008" ... and it occurs to me, Courtney won't be in any of them. I know what your thinking....life goes on....right? Of coarse it does, and I'm not asking for time to stop, just letting you see a few things through my eyes. I see the little notes, initials, and photo's of her slowly being replaced, and I expected it, that doesn't make it any easier. I know she won't ever be forgotten....I'm just trying to get used to the fact that all her friends are graduating this year and moving on.

Let's add that to the fact that this is January, my busiest month of the year at work. Under normal circumstances I thrive in this type of atmosphere. The non stop booking of vacations for happy families who wanna go to Disney or travel to the Caribbean or even cruise the Mediterranean, but this year it's hard to concentrate. Every time I look up from my desk I see teenagers running past, laughing, holding hands, YELLING (btw, stop that shit, I am trying to work ya know..j/k), my point...Courtney can't, she didn't get to have her first real date, or her first real boyfriend, a chance to play in the marching band...I could go on and on and on. But that's life right? it is what it is and you deal with what you have been given. I had the most amazing angel in my life for almost 16 years....and I'll be loving and missing her until I take my last breath.



Anyway....I'm just saying

Be grateful for what you have, because there are those who have nothing
Live life to the fullest, cause there are those who will never get the chance
Speak whats on your mind, because were not promised another tomorrow


Much love ~Anita
