You Are Our Shinning Light

Day 217~ 31 Weeks

~You Are Our Shining Light. When You Left Our World Was No Longer Bright.~

Yesterday We Spent Thanksgiving With My Sister, Brother-in-law, Nephew & Niece. It Was Great Being With Them. I Love My Family Very Much. However, It Was So Evident Ashley Was Absent. It Wasn't Like Our Typical Thanksgiving. Not At All. There Was An Evident Sadness In The Room. At One Point I Realized Most Of Us Were On Our Phones. Almost As If Escaping A Reality, That The Girl That Brought An Unbelievable Light Into Our Lives, Is No Longer Here. A Way To Try To Escape The Pain. But You Realize That Nothing Can Help You Escape The Reality, The Pain.

She Is The Missing Puzzle Piece That Makes Us All Complete. Our Hero, Our Teacher, Our Inspiration, Our Daughter, Sister, Niece, Cousin, Our Best Friend.

Her Absence Was Felt. It Was Evident.

How Sad It Is That So Many Lives Are Forever Broken, Because This World Took The Most Amazing Young Women Away From All Of Us. But At The Same Time, How Extraordinarily Beautiful It Is, That One Amazing Young Woman Could So Profoundly Touch So Many Lives & Have Such An Impact On So Many Lives, That Her Absence Is So Deeply Felt. That A World That Was Once Brilliantly Bright To So Many, Is Forever Missing Its Radiant Light.
