"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

Heartbreak

I'm not one to cry often (not where anyone can see, anyway), but I am crying right now.

I don't understand how any kind of God or higher power could take the life of a strong, healthy 12-year-old boy without any warning or reason.

Rest in peace, Tyler Teasdale. You probably didn't remember me, but I remember you. And to your family, your sister--you might not remember me either, but my heart goes out to you. I cannot even begin to imagine what you're going through. My brother is just a month older than Tyler, and if I lost him... God, I wouldn't be able to handle it. I may not pray very often, but the prayers I do say are now for you.

And to my own family and friends, the people I can't live without--never forget how loved you are. Never.

-a very lost abigail.
