Emily.

Emily was one of my best friends. We met through a boyfriend of mine and since that day we were the closest of friends. She was sooo fun, caring, loving, happy, outgoing, optimistic.. the compliments could keep coming, i mean she was a really BEAUTIFUL person. I hate the saying, "Bad things happen to good people" because for some reason, it always seems to be true. Emily was 19 years old when she passed away on January 19th, 2011. She died from DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) after having a C-section to deliver her baby boy. I received the news at work and I was in complete shock. I remember when I met Emily how excited she was to be having a baby. She bought all the books, read all the magazines, she ate healthier and exercised-- she wanted to be the best mom she could be. The piece of her that was left is gonna be two this upcoming January and he is just LIKE his momma-- always smiling and so loving :) I look at this picture and I still can't believe she is gone. There has been times that I really wanted to talk to her.. hear her laugh or have her cheer me up. I know she's still around though.. looking out for all of us including her son :) Love you, Em <3
