I watched my best friend die of cancer at 33 years old. She went from being a vibrant, funny, adventurous wife and mother to being viciously ill and confined to the bed. I saw her life being drained away and there was nothing that anyone could do to save her. I grew up with her. I went to her 16th birthday party. She was my matron of honor in my wedding. She gave me a gown to wear to receive visitors after the birth of my daughter. It was peach satin with floral embroidery. She told me when she discovered that my husband was having an affair because no one else would. She was by my side through my tumultuous marriage and painful divorce. She and I had planned to travel when our kids grew up, but she didn't live to see her boys become men. I used to think that I had plenty of time to do different things in life. Now, I know that each day of life is a precious gift and I had better appreciate and enjoy it. I also know how important it is to let the people I love know that I love them. My best friend and I never spoke of love until the end. She was in her hospital bed with yellow eyes with not much time left and I told her that I loved her. She could barely speak but she nodded and said "Love you too." This changed me forever. I still talk to her sometimes in my mind or out loud when I get overwhelmed. I miss her so much but I still have to live. She's been gone for almost three years now and my heart still aches.

Not to me but to my daughter. Drinking and driving.
Drinking from the night before and still feeling the effects, she drove her car, dropped her lipstick and crossed the line and hit a little nissan pickup, with 2 adults and 2 childern, 1 child was not wearing a seatbelt and he was killed. We went to trial and she was found guilty, and the Jury realized that if the young child was wearing a seatbelt he would still be alive and gave her 15 yrs. probation, the Judge decided she needed jail time and gave her 210 day for day in jail, 6 months in a rehabilitation drug and alcohol bootcamp, and many other things that will keep her busy for about 15 yrs. This has changed everyone involved. I have her 10 year old girl living with me until she is out and she has to go see a counsler to help cope with her mother being gone for awhile. My Heart and prayers go out to the family who lost their child. I pray for them every day

Funnily sufficient i replaced into flipping by Myspace a lengthy time period in the past and placed my ex replaced into courting someone I used to understand in severe college. Her posts are pretty alarming, and it is unhappy because i understand what she's dealing with. She had it undesirable to commence with and that i will't imagine what this can do to her :(

My two kids coming home (adopted). Opened a whole new world for me.
Encountered the Goddess when I was writing a paper on Neo-Pagan religions in the United States.

yes. one day my co-worker pulled out some pictures and described how she went hiking in the Swiss alps. I didn't really know her well and was surprised that she had this other side to her. For some reason it inspired me to want to travel, and now I've been all over the world. She has no idea what an influence she had on me.

Yes ... my father committed suicide when I was a senior in high school. It was so sudden, and I hadn't even told him that I loved him that night when he dropped me off at the basketball game. It made me realize how precious life is, and that I should always tell the people I care for how much I love them because I might not get another chance.

Had two children. Before that, I partied all the time. Now, I just work, cook, clean, and hang out with my kids. The only parties I make it to anymore have Princesses and Power Rangers!

I know the first few times I tripped on DXM it gave me a whole different outlook on life. Since then on I've been thinking differently and taking appreciation for little things.
