“Never forget yesterday, but always live for today, because you never know what tomorrow can bring, or what it can take away.” -Unknown It was a hot and humid summer night this past summer. Just two weeks before I started my first year of college, and was simply enjoying the last few days with my friends before we went separate ways because of college. Unfortunately, tragedy decided to make an appearance and ruin the rest of summer for myself and others. The news came to us on August 15, 2016.

This was my first experience with losing a loved one at a mature age. It was a very hard process for me, knowing I would never see my friend in this world again.

I love and miss you,
