Last Good Advice

There's one more piece of good advice that my Mom gave me. - Throw out the drama. Growing up I always had a hard time understanding exactly why she would tell us to not get involved in drama, because, lets face it, drama is what high school is all about. It's "fun". My mom would make us change the radio station if "Mama's shoes" ever came on during Christmas, because she would say that the world had enough drama, why add more. It always made me giggle. But as I've grown I've seen exactly what she is talking about.

A few months ago I called my mom and asked "Are there really that many crazy people in the world?" With in a few weeks I had been bombarded by people who were letting drama rule their life and making more unnecessary drama on top of that. It floored me. And I knew...I know I don't want any of that in my life. Mom was right.

This past week a brilliant person "graduated", as her obituary read, from this world. And I'm not going to lie, I hid from it. I hid from the fact that she moved on, I hid from my emotions, and I pushed them all as far away as I could. But eventually life, real life, catches up to you.

Lindsey was a beautiful person. She lived a large part of her life battling brain tumors, but she was always happy and optimistic. She always was cheerful and making me laugh. She was a light in a world that gets continually darker. She is beautiful. No wonder the Lord took her home, he must have so much work for her to do.

No, I don't need any more drama, I have enough. This life moves too fast to waste on unnecessary drama.

And so to Mrs. Lindsey Kae Robinson Karr- I can't believe your face book page! Page after page of people celebrating you! None of them are down trodden or upset, but are giving glory to the wonderful life you lived! You were such an example, Lindsey, of what life should really be; love, joy, hope, happiness. Good luck on the other side (like you'll really need it ;) ). 'til we meet again. And Lindsey, Thanks.
