great time on the way home being super silly
and laughing about everything. When
we got to Em's house to drop her
off, she got out very un-lady like (haha),
and ran to her front door (it was in
the middle of January). By this
time, Kelsie was backing out of her
driveway and we were both looking
back watching for any cars coming
our way. And at that very moment, I
turn around and see Emily running in
heels as hard as she could with this
short skirt flying up and hair
flying everywhere. I couldn't even
get the words out because I was
laughing so hard and had tears
running down my face. Finally I
screamed Kelsie's name and she
slammed on the brakes and turned
around and here we see Emily
screaming for us to stop. We didn't
know what she was screaming about.
Thinking maybe there was some kind
of emergency, we rolled down our
window. Trying not to laugh from
the sight we had just witnessed, we
managed to ask what in the world she
was freaking out about. Trying to
catch her breath she goes "You
guys....I left my cell phone in
here!" We looked at her with a
blank stare thinking..."Are you
serious?" We busted up in laughter
and she started laughing and
said,..."I'm serious...my parents
would have taken it away if I would
have lost it one more time." Those
words were so true because if you
knew Emily, you would have known
that she lost things ALL the time.
I'm not going to keep going cause I
could, but these are just a few of
many great memories I had with
Emily. Sure there were bad ones too
but they are the good ones that keep
me smiling and keeping the pain numb
from missing her so much! Emily was
my first friend I ever made. She
was so special not only to me but to
everyone in a different way. In
mine, she always knew how to get me
to laugh and when I was having a bad
day, she always knew when there was
something wrong. We loved to shop,
we loved to laugh about anything and
everything and we both shared a
passion for volleyball. There isn't
a day that goes by that I don't
think of Em
 and her crazy, fun
spirit for life. For the longest
time I was angry and didn't
understand why God wanted something
like this to happen. I believe that
He didn't want us to suffer in any
way but He needed another angel up
in Heaven. Do I like the decision
that He has made? No, of course
not. I want her here just like
everyone else does but this is where
the obstacle of selfishness comes in
and you just have to say....she is
happier than ever up there and we
will be okay. Maybe not today or
tomorrow or the next day, but in
time...we will be okay.

One thing Em and I had in common was
that we were always up for a good
laugh, so I thought that I would
just share a few good memories that
may make you laugh as well.
One memory that comes to mind is
back in 8th grade. As you all
know, Emily had the biggest and
curliest head of hair. Well,
everyone can agree that people need
haircuts every once and awhile.
Well, that time was up for Em and we
were at her house when her mom said
she needed to trim Em's hair because
her ends were getting bad. Em
didn't like the idea but agreed to a
small quarter inch trim. What
she didn't know was while she was
sitting in the bathroom and I was
watching, her mom was trimming a
little more than she thought.
When Em saw her hair on the ground,
2-3 inches gone, she flipped!
She was practically in tears and her
mom and I were laughing but at the
same time trying to tell her that it
looked fine. All I could think
about was how I had never seen Emily
go crazy like that over a small
little haircut. But what I
also realized was how precious that
big head of hair was to her that day
too.
