P.S. This year I am so thankful to have had you in my life.

From the time you were just a little baby, i knew that you were going to be the "spunky" one:)... you have always had such an outgoing, sometimes challenging personality.  Even during the tough teenage years, we got thru it all, didn't we?  as a matter of fact, looking back, it made us closer together.  I just refused to give up on you child.  you needed a good kick in the butt during those years, instead i spoiled you and never ever gave up on you. You started changing into a wonderful young woman when you found out you were pregnant with aayden.  after he was born, you continued your journey into motherhood, i was very very proud of you, esp when you got your butt back to school.  i was so very proud of you, cuz you did it all on your own!  you worked and went to school and was a momma and b'c you were working so hard, ed and i never minded helping you at all.  the day of the accident, you made the statement about staying home.  lizzie you did the right thing by going.  you were being responsible.  now i wish that i would have begged you to stay, but the Lord wanted you right then.  He has plans for you that i don't yet understand, but i pray every day that some day i will understand.  Life as we knew it has ceased!  this heart of mine will never be the same. this house will never be the same, aayden is growing like a weed, even since your death.  he will always know his mommy, we will make sure of that!  there are so many things that i would love to share with you, but i will save for a later time.. i love you  and miss ya like crazy.  i am always fighting back the tears.....keep shining your light our way baby doll xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxox

I have so many wonderful memories with Liz. I knew that I could count on her for anything, and she would always be there for me. That was actually the last conversation we had. Every year Liz and I would have what we called "our annual fights" we would go two or three months without talking to eachother. During this fight she called me and told me that she wanted to be cool and no matter what is was if I needed anything then I could call her. Then she texted me on my birthday and said "Happy 21st! Don't drink to much..." but I never replied. I saw her at the club that night and we didn't speak. That is my BIGGEST regert in the world. Losing her was a life lesson to me hold on to the ones you love and never let them go. Anytime I was bored I would call Liz, and talk about absoulty nothing. She always knew how to cheer me up and make me laught. We have so many inside jokes. She really understood me. I miss her so much! Nothing will ever be the same and I will always have a piece of my heart missing. Liz is the reason why many people are friends, she knew how to bring people together and have a good time. There was never a boring minute with her.
