A piece of my Heart!

Today a piece of my HEART died.
A piece of my heart that was kind, loving, generous and always smiling.
A piece of my heart that showed me how true love felt.
A piece of my heart that taught me how to drive a stick shift.
How to be happy with a dollar in my hand. How to be warm, how to be speechless and how to be selfless.
That piece of my HEART was Christopher Edwin Pratt.
That piece of my Heart showed me how it really felt to be treated like a woman, a lover and a friend.
Even though I didn't tell you as much as I should. I let every man I've ever known know that you were the best piece of my Heart. But on August 4th, 2009. That piece of my heart died.
The hopes and the dreams of a love like yours, a heart like yours and a kindness like yours was taken away from me.
Taken away from me by a heartless attempt and by a clear disregard for Humanity.
May the being (not person, not human) who took the life of a piece of my Heart pay for what he/she has done.
Because the piece of my HEART that blessed my life from 1999 to 2009 has left me.
All I have now are the memories. And they are the best memories of my life.
The best memories that were created with the piece of my Heart.
My Heart, My sunshine, My smiley, My lover, My friend, My Fiance, My Christopher Edwin Pratt.
The piece of my HEART that blood no longer flows to. That piece of my HEART is YOU!

Everyone

I don't care about this life, this house, this car, these clothes.
What all do I have to show for myself at the end of the day when everything is gone away?
What I really care about is my LOVE, my friends, my family, my community.
Not this education, this job, this salary.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter how many degrees I have on the wall, how many lines are on my resume or how many dollars are in the bank.
What really matters is how many hearts I've touched, faces I've made smile and LIVES I've inspired.

Life

You can be happy one day, sad the next,
Skinny one day, fat the next,
Rich one day, poor the next,
Beautiful one day, ugly the next,
Alive one day, dead the next,
In love one day, In hate the next,
Healthy one day, Sick the next.
Life is just one tragedy after another waiting to happen.
