Life is Short

Hi everyone! I’m blogging from home in South Florida right now.

I came down unexpectedly because yesterday I found out a really old friend of mine passed away.

We definitely lost touch over the years, but I’ve known him since elementary school.

His funeral is tomorrow so I figured I would come down and pay my respects with all of my friends from high school.

It’s a shame that he was only 19 years old and had a beautiful baby boy named Aiden. It’s still hard to wrap my head around, but it really made me think that it could happen to anyone at anytime. R.i.p. Jonathan <3

Sorry to hit you guys with a sad post but I needed to write about it. I will be back to regularly blogging probably on Monday. I hope you all have a great St.Patty’s Day/weekend! Smile

  4. I like that last quote! My husband and I never let each other go to bed mad at each other- we always say you never know what could happen during the night.

    Brittany, I’m sorry I’m just now seeing this. I’m very sorry for your loss, and so young, too. I am, however, thankful for your post and your reminders. Can’t be reminded enough. I’m sure it meant a LOT to his family that you were there to pay your respects. I hope you are having a better week so far.
