comes around every year.
it's not that a thought of you doesn't cross my mind almost every day but on THIS DAY, every year, i can only remember the horror of that late night phone call; the anguish in your dad's voice; the utter devastation that your mum felt; the utter helplessness that we felt; the anger at the injustice of it all; the tears; the sorrow; and the heart-wrenching realisation that we would never see your beautiful smiling face here on this earth again.
so many vivid memories of those dark days - so many more that i am sure my mind won't allow me to remember.
but more and more the memories of the horror of that night are being replaced by gentler memories of your smiles and laughter that we shared; of the times our families spent together and of the precious gift that you were to us all.
i will see your mum and dad today - there will be tears and lots of them, hugs, memories shared and the renewing of that part of our friendship that we share, that i would never wish on anyone.
this is my favourite photo of you....
it shows me the steely determination that was so much a part of you, whether you were out on the track or just living your life;
it shows me those beautiful eyes - focused and ready to race - ready to beat the boys (and you usually did);
i know under that helmet there would have been carefully applied make-up - not too much but just enough to enhance your beautiful features;
i don't know what colour your hair would have been - it was always a surprise and a bit of a guess what colour you would have dyed it each time we saw you.
yep......i love this photo of you.
this day i will cry an ocean of tears and my heart will break.
i will hold my children a little closer and a little longer and i will try to see the good and the beautiful things around me.
remember to always to look for the things in your life that make you smile
~~ and let those you love, know that you do ~~
~*~ LIVE OUT LOUD ~*~
today i dedicate this sign off to you sweet girl...
for making us smile;
for the love that you shared;
and for reminding us all to "LIVE OUT LOUD"
rest in peace Kristy Lee.
we love you precious girl.
