challenge in 09

so here is the #best09 for today:

December 9 Challenge. Something that really made you grow this year. That made you go to your edge and then some. What made it the best challenge of the year for you?

so...my challenge of 2009 was Will dying. i mean it is completely terrible and devastating, but it really and truly made me grow as a person. it made me realize that people you love are incredibly important to your life and that you never know when they are going to not be there anymore. it was one of the hardest things i've ever experienced in my life. but it really made me step back and look at my life and the people in it and try to let them know at every chance i get how much i love them and how much they mean to me. he has been in my life since 2nd grade. that was 15 years ago. and he isn't here anymore. and there are some days i just want to have our legendary 3 hour talks at 1 in the morning about everything big and small. and it breaks my heart still to think that he did everything he did. but it has taught me so much and has also brought me closer to friends from Green who know how life feels like something is missing now...
