Today I planned to do a be safe and have a happy new year post but something changed. A friend of mine lost her boyfriend, best friend and the love of her life suddenly over the weekend and it really hit me. After my dad has spent the last year fighting for his life I started to realize how short life is and then this happened and I just lost it. I couldn’t imagine losing A. We have only been together a short amount of time but knowing he is the one for me just scares me. Scares me because you cant prepare for loss. When my grandparents died I knew it was coming but you cant prepare. But when someone so young dies you just hurt. I hurt for my friend. I hurt for her friends. I hurt for his family. I hurt for everyone who knew him. I just hurt. I just cant imagine drinking tonight and celebrating a new year when this one has been so painful for so many people.
So here’s to hoping 2013 treats everyone better.

I do hope everyone has a happy and safe New Years and that we all can pray that 2013 treats all of us with nothing less than we deserve. I know so many people have had rough 2012’s so this is what I have to say…
2012….SUCK IT!
Also please pray for my friend.
I am so sorry for your friends loss. That is terrible. Something similar happened to an old friend of mine just about a month or so ago.
I’m so sorry for your friends loss. You’re absolutely right, losing a loved one is something you can’t EVER be prepared for. When my cousin passed a few years ago we knew it was coming…she had cancer…but getting that phone call was still like a punch to the gut.
Here’s to a positive 2013…
Prayers to your friend. That is heartbreaking.
Wishing you health and happiness in 2013!
I am sorry for your friends loss. All of them and inlcuding you are in my prayers. {huge hugs} for everyone.
I’m so sorry for you, your friend, his family and friends. So awful and sad. 🙁 Many prayers for everyone. xoxo
I’m so sorry for your friends loss. And I am really really really looking forward to 2013 starting because 2012 has just been a tough, sometimes awful year for a lot of people. Prayers of course for your friend.
So sad to hear about your friend. Many prayers for her and the family.
I am so sorry for your friends loss, it just breaks my heart.
My thoughts are with your friend during this tough time. And also with you.
I am so sorry for your friend’s loss … My thoughts and prayers are with her! 🙁
Thank you, Neely and everyone else. I wish everyone in the world could have met Nathan. He had the biggest smile, the best laugh, and loved everyone. Our time together was short but he taught me so much. The last lesson was to take nothing for granted and cherish every moment. But I know he’s still here with me so all is not lost. Thank you again for all the kind words.
I’m sorry for your friends loss. Time is precious and spend as much as you can telling those special people just how much they mean to you.
Sorry to hear of your friends loss. Seem to be alot of people are losing someone. Here is to a better year for everyone. Lots of prayers for your friend, and her boyfriends family. I couldn’t imagine what they are going through.

I can totally relate to this girl… I lost my father tragically, unexpectedly in a motor vehicle accident when I was 20, and then lost my uncle a week later to Lymphoma (and although he had been fighting this battle for awhile and we knew the end was drawing near, it was still hard to process due to happening in so close proximity to my dad’s death)… and then 2 years ago I lost my grandfather unexpectedly to an unsuccessful emergent surgical procedure… I will keep you friend in my thoughts and be sending good vibes her way that in time she can heal! <3 And YES, may 2013 be better!
Praying for your friend. 🙁
