I Miss You

I Miss You
Fulton County Fairgrounds 2015

It's been nearly 365 days since I last had a conversation with you. I miss you every day. This is a letter to a man who started it all for my family, and it's a special thank you for all that he did. His love and passion for farming will continue for generations.

Grandpa,

It's nearly been a year since I last saw you. It seems like much longer. The family farm is still doing well thanks to my brother Nate and my dad. They provide so well for my family due to all of their hard work. They have always had a passion for farming, and you're the one to thank for that.

I still remember all of the times riding in the tractors with you on the farm, those were some precious memories. Every time I go up to Michigan to the farm, I think of you and Grandma so much. You were such a brave man going into WWII as a medic, and I look up to you so much for that. There's no words to describe how honored I am to be your grand-daughter.

Thank you for making the Betz family what it is today, because the love you had for Grandma was so special.

I'm sure you and Grandma are having a wonderful time up there, but just always remember that we miss you both so dearly.

I'll see you when I see you, but until then, watch over all of us Betz's here.

I love you so much.



Sincerely,

Your grand-daughter

Erin

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
