"7 years later"













It seems like time has gone by so slow, but yet time has flown by. Seven years ago today i lost a piece of my heart. My sister brittany was taken from us in a car accident. Words can't describe that day. It was a day full of heartache, anger, loniness, not fair, fear and the unknown.

I was always the one that thought it would happen to anyone or anybody else, but not my family or someone i knew. My world came crashing down. How do you deal with something so tragic and horrible? Their has been so many things since then that has happened. Some good, bad and ugly. It's always easier to look at the negative and not find the good in any of this. I want to focus on the good and some of the things i'm grateful for since this loss.
  • My Husband, best friend!

  • Having great friends and family!

  • My Faith and the comfort i've felt through this difficult time!

  • Really taking a step back to re-evaluate my life and what really matters most!

  • Support, it's truly amazing the friends and family that i have!

  • Love unconditionally

  • Life, it's so fragile

  • My 2 most beautiful nephews!! They have given me so much! It's truly amazing to have this opportunity to be an auntie!! They fill my life with so much love, happiness!! It's been one of the best things yet since this horrible tragedy happened along with something else that has been a miracle in my life!!!

  • My precious unborn baby girl on the way!! I can't wait for this journey to start with her!!

Britt always would tell me how much she wanted to be an auntie!! Oh how i wish she was still here, to be apart of her nephews and niece's lives!!! She would of been an amazing aunt!! Hands down!!! That's one of the saddest things with this whole thing, is our kids will never be able to know her here on this earth. I guess that's why pictures are so so important and making memories with the ones that are still here and telling them every minute we get a chance how much they mean to us and how much we love them because you never know when that day will come to a complete halt and there gone from your life forever!! Give your loved ones hugs and kisses!! Life is so fragile!!

Britters, I love you so much and miss you like crazy!! Til we meet again!!

xoxo

Oh Shauna you know how to make me cry! You are truly blessed, but Brit is making extra sure of that for the sacrifice of losing her. I'm sure she is teaching Ella right now and giving her that extra sass she will need in life. An extra special gift from her auntie!!! Love ya!
