A former classmate/cheerleader teammate passed away today. Leaving behind 3 beautiful children. Why did this happen to such a beautiful person? This has been a crazy week! I am deeply saddened by her death and yet moved to press on through daily struggles as a mom. I truly love my kids, but do I really show it every moment of every day? Am I truly thankful for the gift of life? Yes, I know things happen for a reason, but this girl had everything going for her and more! I remember tossing her in the air as she was truly fearless of being a "flyer" in cheerleading. Her laugh was infectious and she had quite the sense of humor. If I remember correctly, I think she put toothpaste on my underarms while I was sleeping during cheerleading camp and made a "mouse" with a feminine product and made it creep down the hall of our dorm at Peace College.
I hope the truth is found out about her death and we all learn from her success in life. May the peace of Christ be with each family member on this horrible day. May she join the other 2 cheerleaders of Apex High School and receive her angel wings in heaven. Rest in Peace Ashley.
