Jessi- she's healed at last

Jessi Patrick was one of my best friends. Shoot, she was like a little sister to me. I hated whenever something happened to her. Well, in June 2010, Jessi had some rough news... she found out she had leukemia. It was horrible. We cried for hours on end. Our church and youth group were praying harder than ever for her. We put everything we were doing towards her. We did everything we could think of to help lift her spirits... not that she needed help with that. She was one of the happiest cancer patients I knew. While she was sick, she worried about everyone else before she worried about herself. For her make a wish foundation wish, she asked for a shopping spree and she used all the money on other kids. If that ain't Christ-like, I don't know what is! She was the greatest human being I knew. Period. On November 25, 2010 (Thanksgiving), the greatest girl on the Earth went home to be with our Lord and Savior. Though I miss her, I know she is healed and living in perfectness with the One who loves her even more than her parents. Oh I miss her so much. She has changed me. One thing we have to hold on to are the memories we have and the Bead of Courage she collected. So many of them... Oh I miss her so much... so much. But I know she's watching me and knows that I'm hurting and she's singing "If you only knew" by the inspirations. Oh gracious, I just want to tell everyone... don't fight over the tiny, silly things. And always let people know how you feel about them. And tell the people you love that you love them every chance you get... You never know when it will be the last time you get to tell them anything... so don't let it be a harsh word.
