Thoughts....

Yes it has been an extremely long time since I have blogged. School takes up most of my life during the year and I just get busy! But I just have had so many thoughts and experiences this morning that I knew I couldn't leave unwritten or unsaid. So I brought my blog back to life...

Well you could say this was definitely not a typical Friday morning for me. After having a late night (which is completely normal) I naturally woke up at 7 this morning?! Umm...that NEVER happens. So since I was failing to fall back asleep I began blog surfing. Again, another completely normal event in my days of life. But today I came across a blog that just really touched me.

This blog http://thelongestyear.typepad.com/my_weblog/lora_love_grief/ is about a woman who started a blog when her husband left for Iraq for a year and it was to help him feel connected to his sweet family he left behind. This woman began a hobby of photography and also dedicates the blog to photos that she takes. But as I was reading through her different entries she would now and again mention someone very close to her who had passed away. As i kept reading I soon found out that this person was her little sister Laura who died in a car accident right after she graduated college. There were all these entries of how hard it was and the pain she still vividly felt even tho it was so long ago.

So I'm laying in my bed reading all of these posts and crying to myself because all I could think about was my own sister. Seriously I don't know what I would do without her in my life. I cannot imagine the pain that this poor family went through. My sister is my best friend, someone who is always there and completely understands me when no one else in the world can. We can go from off the wall craziness to deep, spiritual conversations about life within seconds. There is no one else in the world who can make me laugh like she can!

We have so many crazy memories and inside jokes that no one around us EVER understands! We kind of get in our own world whenever we're together. But I just wanted to have a little tribute to my sis and to express how truly grateful I am for the little things I take for granted so much. Life truly is wonderful because of the amazing people that touch our lives and makes us want to be better.

Everyday I realize just how very blessed I am to have the sister and family that I do and most importantly the gospel. Life on earth can change so fast and there are hard times that really test our faith but this life is so short compared to the eternal life to come. When we have trials and darkness fills our life, we must turn to our Heavenly Father for comfort. He will give us hope and will open a door that will fill our lives with light and happiness. He truly is the only thing we can constantly rely on. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost someone close to them. I really do not know what that feels like but I can only imagine how hard it would be.

We should never hesitate to show our love to those who are still with us. We never know when things can change. Every moment in life should count and should be used to lift others up and make the world better. I truly am grateful and pray I can be better at expressing my love to those I care about. So on that note, I LOVE you all and specifically today, my sister Jaclyn "Chucks" Anderson! <3
