Excuse the random title..it means nothing. I thought about a friend today. Her name is Devon. One of the coolest, friendliest, genuine people I've ever met in my life. She knows every song that comes on the radio, and always has a smile on her face no matter how much pain she was ever in. I wish you could meet her, but she passed away in February 2008. Her boyfriend gave her flowers for valentines day in a graveyard. She had cancer. She helped me through my troubles when all I could do was watch her get sicker. Her attitude never changed. Always happy, I'm sure she still is. She was one of the first people I met when I got to school, and we had been tight since the first day..down to the last. I spoke to her the night she passed away. I'm not sure she knew if that was the last time we would ever speak. But I told her " I love you so much, and you'll always be my sister" and we cried. It was hard for me then, and it still is now. I wanted to share this because I wanted other people to know it's ok sometimes that things aren't under our control. Everything was out of my hands, so I could hold her hand. So I could be there for Devon, just as she was there for me. We're both stronger because of it. *Sisters for Life* I promised I would never forget her..I'm not. I'm making sure people know who she is, while I remember her.
