Rest In Peace Kellie

I received a call today from a friend from high school telling me her granddaughter committed suicide, she was only 15 years old. It brings so many emotions to your heart that it is overwhelming. My heart breaks for this beautiful young girl who had her whole life in front of her, my heart breaks for the guilt and sorrow that her family must endure. We talked for a few hours, and I told her if she needed anything to please let me know what I could do to help. I kept thinking of the little girl with big brown eyes, braided pigtails and missing front teeth, and how she had grown into such a beautiful young woman. So much is gone now. I could not help but feel ashamed and guilty to know that I had chosen to do the same thing at one time. I pray they all find the peace they will need to survive this.

Rest in peace, Kellie.

Today I am grateful for having known this little girl and for the circumstances that allowed me to still be here.
