Young people been dying, babies been dying, the people we love the most were taken from us when we needed them the most. Death was hidden from us because we didn't know how to truly handle losing people. But that part of our lives are real. At some point, no one knows, your life will end. Any given time, this old journey will be over. At some point, we have to realize what is important. I don't want to leave this earth without being ready to greet the loved ones that have gone on already. I want to see them, but the only way this is possible is if I allow myself to live the RIGHT way. If all of the people dying isn't a wake up call for you, I don't know what to tell you.",
