God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

A letter To My Grandparents In Heaven
Deanna Jacopino

Not a day goes by when I don't think about you both. You were taken so soon, and God only knows why. But jeez, if he only knew they things I would do to spend one more day with you both. I get mad at myself when I think about how unfair it was that you were both taken just a year and a half apart. It's bittersweet knowing that you're both in a better place when of course I wish you were still here with us.

A lot has happened since I last saw both of you, and I wish you could be here to live through all of it. One of my brothers bought a house, another is getting married, and one is having a child soon. That means you’ll be great grandparents. But you already know all of this, and I know you’re so happy for all of us. I wish you could still be here with your grandchildren and great-grandchildren; I can't wait to tell them all about both of you.

Quite often I find myself watching old home videos just so I can see you guys again. To be honest, videos don't compare but it's nice being able to hear your voices again. You left me with so many memories and lessons that I will cherish forever. Many of the decisions I’ve made recently have been because of your influence on me. You always put family first, and that love you both had for each other could have moved mountains. The lessons and values that you taught me will stay with me forever along with our memories.

I wish you guys could be here to see everything I’ve accomplished already. I know you're watching from above, you've even sent me signs to let me know you're there. I graduated high school, and I'm going to college now. I have a pretty serious boyfriend that I wish you could’ve met. I'm following my heart just like you always told me to do. I know you're mapping out my journey for me up there; I really do have the best guardian angels. I hope I’m making you proud.

Living without you hasn't been easy, but knowing that you're both happy together is enough. I will always love and miss you every day. But until I see you again I will keep you in my heart.

I love you forever and always

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
