in the arms of an angel

it's times like these when your faith is truly tested. one of my best friends younger brother passed away yesterday morning and it's still hard to think about. i have never experienced losing a loved one before so it is a new and strange feeling. it breaks my heart thinking about what my friend and her parents are going through. my immediate reaction was to break down and let it out, but after having some time to grieve i have learned to accept it.
i believe that he is in a much better place and smiling down on all of us. i believe that this happened for a reason, although it is so hard to understand why. i hope people realise how precious life is and how important it is to love as much as you can and stop wasting time hating and being angry at the world. Life is such an amazing gift and we need to make the most of it. Yes we only live once, but instead of living it up and drinking it down we need to make our time here worthwhile and make every second count for the better.

i continue praying for the family to get through this hard time and i know that i will see his smiling face one sweet day. xx
