Only the good die young,

Yesterday,  I remember it well, my stomach churned as I read the news to find that another young person lost their lives on South Australian roads though it was not until the afternoon my worst fears were realised.  Someone I love, someone I know, someone I had grown up with died in a car accident.  She was 22 and has a beautiful little girl, but I remember her as a beautiful little girl.

What I find so hard is to actually accept that this is real and has happened, Jasmine was always so happy, so smiley and so full of life; to even begin to think she is gone is like... opening a great big hole in my heart.  I hadn't seen her in years, but kept in contact via Facebook and her sisters whom I speak to on a regular basis... and all I ever heard was how happy she was and how she loved being a mummy.  I am glad she had the chance to experience that and I know for certain that the darling little girl will know all about her mother, and she will be as proud of her as I was.

I feel like I have lost some more of my childhood and innocence, so many happy childhood memories are entwined in Jasmine and her sisters; how many times did we beg our parents for BBQs and sleepovers?  You are gorgeous Jasmine, you will remain gorgeous.  I am blessed to have known you and I am sure I am not the only one who feels that way.

God took another angel home on this day.

My heart, my love, my thoughts and prayers are sent to you and your family, I know you will watch over them and I know they will help each other through, as crazy as both our families are, there is so much love in them and I know they will do all they can to continue to share your joy and love with the world.

Please, everyone else, be careful on the roads, please, be smart.

Jazzy... I love you.
