Dear Kiersten.



I wanted to dedicate today's post to a girl named Kiersten that lost her battle to Leukemia 2 days ago.  She was a seventh grade young girl with a bright spirit and immeasurable strength. 
I didn't know Kiersten or her family, but she was a part of my school community and will be missed by many students and staff. 
The loss of Kiersten hit very close to home.
It forced me to go back and question basically everything...
Why was my Mom given a miracle?
Why was this Mom's destiny? Kiersten's?

Where do I find the peace in today? 
Where do I find peace for Kiersten's family?
Has my faith diminished? Has Kiersten's families?
I pray for them to find peace in their loss.
I pray for them to find the faith that their daughter is resting peacefully and now watching over them from the clouds above.
I am thankful for Mom's miracle..I'm thankful that she was given a second chance at life.
I am thankful for my hopes becoming reality.
I am thankful for this life I get to live every day, and for each and every experience I have lived through. 

Kiersten, though we did not know one another, know that you have a special place in my heart. 
Your fight will forever be a part of me, and I will continue to honor your memory each and every day.
I know you are no longer walking on this earth, but I know you can feel the sunshine today and see the love that surrounded you until the end. 
May your spirit live on through each and every one of us.
Rest in peace little one, rest in peace.
