“Live every moment, love every day, because before you know it, precious time slips away.”- Anonymous
On the day of April 15th, 2014, a precious little girl by the name of Julia Norris passed away and was accepted into Heaven. Julia was the sister of my great friend Jordan. She passed due to a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma brain tumor. This doleful event caused me to put my life into a new perspective. The laws of life that I now follow as of a result of this tragedy are, don't take life for granted, live life in the moment, and that God has a plan for everyone.

Julia’s death was a tragic event for many people, but God knows that it has been just a minuscule step in his larger plan.
In conclusion, Julia’s death brought much sorrow into my life as well as many others, but it also brought much more thought in my life. This traumatic event caused me to think about and continue to put into action my three laws of life. I have learned countless lessons from a numerous amount of events, but this one has and will continue to impact me the most. Not only did Julia’s passing change the Norris’s life forever, but mine as
