This one girl would have been 28 years old this past Sunday, but she died Christmas Day 2008 due to a mixture of cystic fibrosis and pneumonia. Not many people know I knew her, and I kept our friendship under the wraps. But anyways, she helped me during a dark period of my life and made me realize life is too short to sit around all depressed and mopey. I swear that she invented the term "YOLO" because that was really her motto. She did all kinds of crazy things, even death-defying, and still came out on top. Unfortunately, she couldn't come out on top of her CF.
She was an amazing young woman.
