Being on this wonderful journey has made me realize what a precious gift life is. It can be taken away from you in a matter of what seems like harmless seconds.  Even if it isn't a family member or a close friend of yours it is still heartbreaking to hear of a young adult who has sadly passed away.  They were taken before they could truly live their life, and that reason right there is why I am so thankful to be where I am and done what I have done already in my short 17 years of life. I was given the chance to fulfill my dreams while another's life was taken away before he could truly experience the potential of what it could be.  It's a tragedy for the family to have to search for their loving brother, son, and best friend knowing that they will get no response when he is found.  This time will forever be with many and their hearts will never be fully repaired.
