Sometimes I dislike how far away I live from people that I care so much about like really good friends. Why do I bring this up? I have felt recently, (well in the last two days) that I haven't been the greatest friend to one of my best friend's Sarah. A tragic event happened to someone she cared so deeply for a month ago and I didn't know about till now. Grant it I was in Europe when it happened so I guess I have a little bit of lee way but still I should've known about this awful event and been there for Sarah. She lives in Texas and I live in Utah and yet I feel so far away. I feel millions of miles away to be exact.
I dislike how life gets to be so busy to the point where we get lost, entangled or consumed in our everyday lives. We sometimes forget about what is important like old friends who live in different parts or distant family. We sometimes forget to check up on those we love so much that live afar. Sometimes we just need to put our feet on the brakes and take a second to tell those important to us no matter where they are how much we love them and care for them. If we don't remember to do this, then the next time we blink it could be all over. WE might not get another chance to say "I love you" to a friend, a significant other, a husband or wife, a pet, a neighbor, a teacher or anyone else that we
really do love.
I vow from this day forward to keep in touch and express my love to those people in my life that sometimes get neglected do to my everyday life consumption. I vow to be actively involved and engaged in my friends' lives- the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. I also vow to see friends that live afar once a year at the minimum so they can see how much I love them.
For all of you that have lost contact with an old friend...call them, email them or send them a card expressing how much you miss them, care for them and love them! Because tomorrow you might not have that chance. Take advantage of this present moment to express your love!
Much love to all,
Jenna

Jenna, my lovely best friend,
:) I love you, I miss you, and I hope you know that. I can understand being busy and you don't have to feel bad for not knowing about Christopher--sorry I flung it on you during our conversation last night, I would've told you more tactfully if I thought you didn't know! So I apologize for that.
Anyway, I love you, and I know you love me. You're always in my heart, no matter how far away you are.
