Everyday Goals.

One thing I've learned in life is that it is not my place to judge. People have made different mistakes but accepting and loving people through them is the best that one can do. Realizing that people will love you through your faults is a good thing, and being able to love people no matter what their choices are -- is a big goal I try to achieve daily. I believe we are here on this earth to love and to show people love. This is my everyday goal.

A Year: in the blink of an eye.

It’s crazy that it has been a year. A year full of taking the next steps, figuring out how to move on, a year of new friendships, a year of finding joy in the small, everyday things.

A year ago a lot of people’s lives were changed. One boy changed hundreds, thousands of lives. And I know even though I wish it could have all happened differently it happened for a reason. For a purpose.

The friends I made last year are friends/brothers that will be apart of my life forever.

There are nights and days I will never forget. I will never forget the sweet eyes that could tell me anything. Or the way you would hold mine (or the person next to you’s) hand. Sitting there with the comfort of love just abounding in that hospital was absolutely amazing. Everyday you could feel God’s presence. He was there. In the friends, family, the people you touched that never even really got to know you. You will forever connect a family of friends together.

I couldn’t imagine where I would be without these people in my life.
