Randy, thank you so much for being part of my life, if even for a short time. I know 21 years on this earth isn't long, but you did more in that time than some people could hope to accomplish in a lifetime. You have been such a great influence on me, and I can't think you enough for it. I know that you are watching over us from Heaven now and please know that you will always have a place in mine and many other hearts. You have inspired me, as well as many others I'm sure, to be better in our faith, and I can only hope to live my life the way that you lived yours: to the fullest each and every day. I remember running into you at Wal-Mart two days before your accident, and we just stood in the electronics dept. talking and laughing. I remember seeing you in class the day before the accident and you just had the biggest smile on your face. I remember you making faces at Jenn in class, or Holley telling me about how you pretended you were going to hit her car. That's how I will always remember you: a friendly person who always wanted others to feel comfortable, and never afraid to have a little fun. Thank you for just being you. Your unfailing trust and faith in God was amazing, how you lived your life for Him. You have inspired me to try to live my life more in that way. I will always miss you, but I take comfort in the fact that you were ready for Heaven, as you stated to a friend not long before the accident occurred. I know that your family, other friends, and girlfriend also take comfort in this and in the fact that you now are with God. Once again, thank you for being in our lives, you will never be forgotten. Our angel.

In other news, went to Randy's funeral today, it was a very well done service, though parts were incredibly sad. A lot of our Nursing class, including some of the teachers were there and we all wore our blue and white ribbons. It was nice to see everyone come together, and the church was packed, so Randy obviously touched a lot of lives. His family seemed to be holding up well, which I was glad to see, though this obviously isn't easy for them. I know God will help them through.
As for school, it's going well, although I will be glad to get a break. We've got a test coming up next week and I'm getting nervous again, because we've had a few weeks off from taking tests, and they're getting a little harder every time. I'm just gonna study my butt off in between working this weekend. On the upside of that, after Sunday, I don't work again until next Friday, which I'm very happy about. I need some time away from that place. Anyways, I think that's it for now, I'm gonna go run around town for a while, then hit the books.
Peace and love,
