An Open Letter To My Angels In Heaven

Thank you for watching over me.

An Open Letter To My Angels In Heaven
Jordan Price

To my wonderful angels watching over me,

I miss you so much it hurts. It's crazy how life could go on without you; something I never imagined could happen. Although you are not physically here, I see you all of the time: in a rainbow after a long rain storm, in the starry sky during a summer night, in the sun's rays poking through the clouds, everywhere. Thank you for these little reminders letting me know that you are always there to watch over me.

I cannot explain how grateful I am to have known you. In my free time, I enjoy looking at pictures of us to remind myself of the great times that you and I shared. You were always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. You were the first to pat me on the back when I accomplished something and also the first to tell me when I messed up. Thank you for that.

I know that through any rough times in my life, you are with me. This reassurance encourages me to push past the ugliness that life has thrown at me. It has helped me to be the strong and compassionate person that I am today. If I did not have you watching over me, I wouldn't be the same person that I am today.

Thanks for not only pushing me in the right direction, but watching me go in the wrong one. You allowed me to make mistakes in my life so that I can learn and grow from them, and for that, I am forever thankful. Whenever life blindsides me, I don't ask "Why me," instead I pray that you will guide me in the right path to better myself.

I know that if you were here with me, you would be at every sporting event, theater production, and honors banquet that have been milestones in my life. I forgive that you are not here, and cannot wait to tell you all about it someday. There is so much I want to accomplish in my lifetime in order to make you proud, which is my ultimate goal.

I wish, more than anything, that I could buy a plane ticket to come and visit you for a weekend. I would be able to tell you so many things and ask so many questions that have been on my mind every day since you passed. Life has been hard without you, but I am slowly learning that death is apart of life. Moving on without you has been a challenge in and of itself, but I know that this is what you would have wanted me to do.

Thank you for watching over my life and taking care of me. I hope I make you proud of the person I have become because I owe it all to you. Please never stop giving me hints of your guidance throughout my everyday life to know that you are with me, for it encourages me to push forward. I cannot wait to see you someday.

Sincerely,

Someone who loves you dearly

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.
