yeah, you haven't updated in a while! no one seems to xanga or comment as much now days. i remember the days when i rolled in like 8 comments per post  = /

you should write intesnse long xangas again if you feel like it   = D   I used to have an odd procrastination habit of going back and reading people's oldest xanga entries... it was all the more interesting if it was a long time ago and before I met them

I'm glad you're not busy/depressed.  = )   Cheers to halcyon days!

you moved?! wow, my home-home moved this past summer too. dang, that means I won't be able to send next year's christmas card to the same address  = /

what happend with the landlord on pioria?

Orgo during the summer doesnt sound pleasent. I hope that's not my destiny... = /

It's strange, but I feel very happy everytime you smile, even if it's just a silly xanga text smile. I'm glad that you're happy   = )

hehe. gracee you should come visit me in chambana. okay okay?! <3

hiIfoundyou

Maybe you should update

rest in peace grace. may God bless your family.

i never actually got to say hi to you before. i'm sorry. i pray that God will keep you close to Him and that He will continue to watch over your family here.

i signed back into xanga for the first time in years, just to drop by your page and say goodbye here. it just feels more right, coming back here to the place where we kept in touch the most. iguess nobody really uses xanga anymore which is really sad; so many good memories. i just scrolled back through some of my posts and your posts from back in the day. amazing how god has changed our lives through MTC. i'm so glad for the fun times we've had, praising and worshiping every year at thanksgiving since we were kids. ican't imaging what it will be like to go back this year, and you not being there to greet us with your big smile and open heart. iguess i never really thought that things might change. ialways just assumed every year all of us friends would be there again, just like when we were young, until we got old. i know now to treasure every moment, and not to take hello's and goodbye's for granted.
remember our awesome co-led small group?? istill have kids from that group tell me how much they loved that year's retreat. you were an awesome example grace. iwish we could've had another chance to serve together. your openness and pure joy in worshiping jesus was something i always looked up to. one day, iknow we'll praise and worship again together. i can't wait, i just can't wait.

I'm still thinking about you all the time... I can't believe you're gone. I keep thinking about the things you'll never do. But then I remind myself, you're doing what you do best now- praising God in heaven. I'll see you again some day, ok?  :)

Grace. Through the handful of times we talked, I can truly see that you're a terrific person. I really wish for the best of you, where you are now. I think watching your childhood videos on a screen behind another screen made me cried for hours; such a promising youth. You will be missed. Always and forever. Take care. Much love. God Bless.
