"to laugh often and much. to win the respect of intelligent people, and the affection of children. to earn the appreciation of honest critics, and endure the betrayal of false friends. to appreciate beauty. to find the best in othersto leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition. to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.this is to have succeeded."

today was the memorial service. it was really tough to go through. one because she was like a second mother to me in the past 5 years i've known her. and two because i had to see someone who i love and care so much for, storm, go through this. it just breaks my heart. i was the first of storms friends that offered to go up and say something, but words couldn't express how i feel. helene touched my life in ways she probably didn't even think about. i remember spending my summers at her house, without any worries at all. her spirit is amazing. and i say is because it'll never end. a couple of days ago, my phone shut off and it brought back all my contacts that i had when i first had my phone. and i was looking through them, and saw her "momma helene" like if it was her way of telling me to never forget about her. and to never give up on storm. helene, thank you for everything you did for me. especially by bringing such a great person, friend, sister into my life. i know things haven't always been that great between me and storm, but that's changed. it tears me up inside to know that you would ask about me when i wasn't around, and that i didn't take the time out to go see you and fix things sooner. you were just such a strong person, that i didn't think the cancer would get to you. it's like you were superwoman. but you're in a better place now, watching over all of us. see you soon mum. love always , baby D.
dont worry, i'll take care of her <3
