Goodbye, my sweet spirit-sister. I love you more than words can ever say. You taught me about true sisterhood and selfless love, and I will keep your memory alive in my heart forever. You changed my life in so many ways, and you saved me in even more ways than that. I promise I will never, ever stop telling people about the beautiful angel who ( Read more... )

Rest in Peace, beautiful Eva Markvoort. We love you so much, and no one whose life you've ever touched will forget you. Breathe easy now, sweet girl.

I'm absolutely speechless.

With the new beginning of 2010, I'm getting the itchy feeling to leave this journal for a new one.

The article ran in the ( Read more... )

For the very first time in my entire 20 years on this planet, last night I was proud to be an American. I cried over the announcement, and when Mr. President Barack Obama took the stage to make his victory speech. My mom and I watched as Caucasians, African-Americans, Asian-American, heterosexual and homosexuals, every group of minorities and ( Read more... )

I am 20 years old today. So is my twin brother. Although I don't like to throw the word 'miracle' around so lightly, I think everyone who knows us will agree that it's nothing short of miraculous that we're both here today, alive and for the most part well. Believe me, it was no small feat for either of us ( Read more... )
