Sad stories and healing. May of this year my nieces stepdaughter (my great niece), great nieces mother and her mothers fiance and younger half brother died in a car wreck. Four friends, people I loved, gone in an eyeblink, my family was shaken to the core. That's the basic background.
Now my great niece, Champagne, was probably one of the coolest people I ever met, at 15 years old she was more together than most adults I know, her theme song was Move Along by the All-American rejects. After a couple of months of moping I realized that this was a good idea and since she and I were both fans of ink, though I'd never been inked until this tat, I decided that those two words would be the beginning of a memorial tat for all of them. The rest of the memorial will follow the concept of favorite songs but will have to wait until I save up some more money. Now you know a small part of a big story.
One thing I want to close with on this, all of these people died knowing they were loved, I learned long ago to always treat everyone as if I may never see them again, to let them know I loved them and cared for them if I were to be gone tomorrow... Little did I know that it wouldn't be me that went before them this time.
My question to you is, do the people in your life know they really matter to you?
