To The Family Member I Wish I Had More Time With

Losing a family member is heartbreaking no matter how much time you get with them.

To The Family Member I Wish I Had More Time With
Michelle Hamilton

I know everyone is going to die at some point, but why did you have to go so soon? Nothing bothers me more than wondering how different my life would be if my loved ones who have passed were still here today. Would my family still be the same? I'd like to think we'd be better, stronger and happier if you were still here. But the most intriguing question is would I be the same? I don't think I would be, because I'd like to believe having more time with you would have made me smarter, kinder, happier and more family orientated.

It's sad that I didn't get to know you very well before you had to go. I think about you often and wonder if you would be proud of me. I wish you could have seen everything I have accomplished since you left. I wish you could've met my friends and boyfriend, I think you would love them almost as much as I do. I know you're watching over me in everything I do, and you're always present in spirit in all of the big days of all of our lives.

I hear stories about you often and know for a fact we would get along great. You seemed like such an amazing, strong, and loving person who made a huge impact in so many people's lives. I see how everyone's eyes light up when talking about you even though they're still all hurting that you're gone. This really shows me the influence you had on everyone's life you came into contact with. It makes me proud to say that you're my family when people ask about you.

I'd give anything for one conversation with you, just to talk for one last time, and I'm sure the rest of our family feels the same. Hearing stories sometimes just isn't enough for me, I want to interact with you for myself. It makes me sad that this isn't possible, but i know that you will always be with me, watching over me and making sure i am safe and for that i am forever grateful.

You made a huge impact on the small parts of my life you did get to be a part of, and i am very thankful for the short time we had together. You shaped our family and made us all better people showing us all that anything is possible if you're willing to work hard to achieve it.

In loving memory of Antonio V Cicciarelli and Lynn Hamilton I love you forever and always rest in peace.

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.
