because I’ve lost so many loved ones recently‚ but I have been thinking about the value of life. Recently I asked some companions at dinner how they wanted to be remembered. I notice reporters always ask older celebrities that question which means I know you won’t be around much longer so what do you want me to say about you when you are gone?

She showed me that I should always put my best foot forward despite all the problems and obstacles I faced. As I matured I slowly began making better decisions
