We may not seem to feel this, but Life is a gift.
Today Bartram High School in Florida created a memorial walk for the students that passed away while attending school. There have been 13 kids that have passed away since 2000-- Lauren being the first.
Lauren Nicole Blomberg
She was my cousin. Only a Junior in high school. I barely knew her, since that part of my family lives in Florida while I live in California. But that never made me underestimate how much life means.
As I am now 17 and a senior. It shocks me. How one person, so beautiful could have disappeared from this world in just a moment. She was so young.
Even I being around 7, didn't really know her that much. Nor did I get the opportunity that often to go to Florida and spend time with my family there. I remember snippets of the past. I remember going to their house and there was a trampoline. But that is all I remember. A trampoline, and bodies, but I don't remember who were there exactly.
There is also one other image that is stuck in my mind. The day of Lauren's funeral, There was this big picture of her. And then there was the coffin. She lay in the coffin, so peaceful, but too still. Too still for her. Her lips were blue.
Recalling this memory, brings tears to my eyes that I couldn't help to find on that day.
Yet I believe Lauren is always around us. And everyone else who has been lost, lives in a way on this world, as ghosts or are just those people in the stars looking down upon us. Watching us and are always with us.
So, I leave this post how it is. Those who have died, will always be remembered, loved, and never forgotten. I will name this post after Lauren. To the one that I never really got to know, and I miss that fact. But she will always be in my heart.
Life is a precious thing, don't give up on it
