I just got back from the funeral of a girl who was just one year younger than me. She died after a 12 year long battle with leukemia. She may have been a year younger than me, but I really looked up to her for her courage and her tremendous faith. I heard that her last words to her younger sister were "I'm so excited!!" She had said the same thing a few days earlier: "I'm so excited, I'm going to Heaven soon!".
All I can say is wow. She was a truely amazing girl, and this world will be a little less colorful, a little less brighter, without her in it. But it's comforting to know that she went home. She is pain-free, cancer-free, healthier, happier, and more full of life than she ever was here on earth.
I can't wait to go home.
