The smile that could light up the world..... it belonged to STARR LYNN HARRIS.... a dear friend that became an angel on June 1st of last year. A day that I will NEVER forget; a day that changed my life forever. This was not just ANY friend... she was a TRUE one. And as we all know, you do not find that often. So you just want to hold on to it and never let it go, right? Well, I was left with no choice. All I have are memories. I had all of these great intentions of doing all of these things with her, but often life just "got in the way", and they were put off until TOMORROW. Little did I know that TOMORROW would never come. I learned a HARD lesson.. one that I never wanted to have to learn, but when YOU LOVE SOMEONE, you can NEVER tell them enough and you should never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. We are NOT promised tomorrow.
(I took this picture of Starr Lynn 1 week before she became an angel) I do not say this because I took this picture, but this picture is SO her. Her name fit her so perfectly. God sure does have a beautiful angel... but as I sit in tears, none of it really seems too clear, feeling like it will never really make sense. There has not been one day since June 1st- 2010 that I have not thought about her and the friendship that we shared. It was an amazing thing. God knew how to get me through this because I KNOW without a doubt that I have not made it this far on my own. I am now able to simply SMILE, like she would and know that she is okay... and that she is looking down on us. I'm just SO thankful for all of the memories that we shared together. I will always hold each one of them very close to my heart.
SOME FRIENDS COME AND GO, BUT SOME LEAVE FOOTPRINTS IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.
