On my birthday, My moms friend steve took me to his friends house, They were having a get together for the super boul, I wasn't paying much attention, because football really isn't my thing, so i took out my note book. As i drew some pretty pictures, my mom started talking to a lady with purple bangs. So my mom told her that she had ovarian cancer. I didn't pay much attention. Then all of the sudden, The lady with the purple bangs took my journal and asked "Can i write somthing?" I scilently nodded, So she wried somthing and handed my journal back to me, It said: Yester day is history, Tomorrow is a Mystery, today is a gift thats why we call it the present For some reason, That quote made my day :) And it's completely true.

    Yes, it is true. Sometimes it is hard to remember how precious today is and how quickly it can all be taken away.

    Meghan, I LOVE your profile pic. It is adorable!
