Past...Present..Future

Twice a week at school we have a class called "Specialty". We usually learn about cool things like natural facials, our inspirations, goals, how to do cool nail stuff. It's like stuff to keep us motivated and such. Today Specialty was a very emotional class. The theme was "Past..Present..Future". We were told to sit and imagine that tomorrow is our funeral. Who would be there? Who wouldn't be there? What would we do today? Then our teacher told us a very personal story of her life about how her father took his life and her struggles with that. Then we each had the opportunity to share "our story". Everyone was bawling. It's surprising to hear everyones stories and what they have gone through. Everyone has their own story. Of course we all know what mine was. I shared how I have been blessed to have a very happy life. I shared the story of Danny and I because honestly that is the only really hard thing I've gone through. A lot of people came up to me afterwards and said how they had no idea and how when I told that they all started to cry. It was such a great experience to grow so much closer to everyone in that class because we were sharing the most tender things. We all have better understandings to love EVERYONE because you honestly NEVER know what they are going through.
I want all of y'all to know that I love you so much! Every person that has come into my life has made a huge difference. I'm sorry if I've ever hurt your feelings, or cause any of you pain. Life is short, and I don't want anyone to have a single doubt about me loving them.
