7 Years.....

7 years ago today I lost my best friend.... Karra and I we met in the 2nd grade and quickly became inseparable. We were together so much that our families became friends. We rode bikes, horses, played with our barbies, in the creek, tried smoking our 1st cigarette together which ended with us catching the bathroom trash on fire, and anything else imaginable. We spent Christmas, numerous birthdays (since they were only a day apart) and any other adventure/holiday a person could think of  together until she moved in the 6th grade. After Karra moved we weren't able to spend as much time together but we were still as close as the day we met. When we were together it was like we didn't skip a beat. She was an amazing person with a great spirit and huge heart. I am lucky to have had such an amazing friend. 7 years ago she was called to heaven to fill her role as an angel, a angel that pushes the limits I am sure. There are moments that I feel like I am missing out because my best friend isn't here to celebrate my marriage or able to meet Abigail but then I think of how lucky I am to have had such a wonderful person in my life. I had a friendship that some people never get the chance to experience and for that I am truly a very lucky person.I hope everyone takes a moment in their day to tell those who mean the most to them,  family or friends,  that you love them!
