Just another reminder that life is too ******** short. She's dying. I've known her since I was 11. I've been best friends with her sister since I was 11. That family was my second family, she was like a frustrating, dorky older sister. I was hard on her, sometimes harsh, but only because I knew she could do better. I've always wanted the best for everyone in my life.

Now she lays in a coma at KU Medical Center. Her kidneys have shut down, her heart has stopped once and they've brought her back. They've done all they can and now it's just a waiting game. Waiting for her to die.

And she's dead.

3:41 pm, CST. I got a message: She didn't make it.

4 kids and a husband, a mother and father, a sister and a brother, her biological twin, countless step-siblings, half-siblings, in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews.....

She's gone.

God help me, but life is too ******** short.

Live each day like it's your last, tell the ones you love that you love them, don't hold back, not ever. Let go of your sorrow and your stress, my loves. Hold the ones you love close to your heart.

She was only 31.
