So today is Cheri's birthday and just like every year it is a reminder of how much I miss her. I can honestly say there is not one day that goes by that I do not think of her, wishing she was still here. It was just not fair that she was taken so early in life with so much ahead of her. But life goes, eh.
I am thankful however for the relationships that I have built from this tragedy. Remembering Cheri brings us all together. It reminds us of how important we are all to each other. People ask all the time how it is that I still have all my close friends from high school. Cheri is why.
Experiencing the death of anyone let alone someone you are so close with (at the age of 15-16) is devastating. It is my friends that got me through this. Without them, without their love, I would not be here. Promise you that.
So today I not only want to say happy birthday to Cheri, but I want to say thank you to my friends, the ones that know me the most, for helping me become the person I am today. Without each other life would not be the same.
Loves you all.
