Today would have been Ashley's 23rd birthday. It's been about 9 years since she's been gone and now thinking of her makes me smile instead of cry. I think of all the great memories she gave me and who she might've been today. I hope that my life will impact as many people as hers did.
I'll stop with a short poem that she emailed to me before she found out that she was sick:
Of all the friends I've ever met
You're the one I won't forget
And if I die before you do
I'll go to heaven and wait for you
I'll give the angels back their wings
And risk the loss of everything
Just to prove my friendship's true
I'm so thankful to have a friend like you
