My Dearest Amanda-Michaela Moore

To My Dearest Amanda,
There are so many things running through my mind.  Trying to face the fact of what happened on that Monday night is a constant struggle that confronts me daily.  There are so many unanswered questions, and so many things that were left unsaid.  The legacy you leave will be a testament to many people throughout the years, and they should know of your greatness and kind heart.
            August 12 will be a date that will forever haunt me.  How can so much sadness and heartbreak happen in one day, and somewhere else in the world the biggest miracle can be happening at the same time?  Tuesday morning, the most heart wrenching news encompassed my spirit.  You touched so many people’s lives through your loving soul and captivating dancing.  I don’t understand why you had to leave us so early.  You had so much potential with your dancing and you could have been so successful, and even more successful than you already were.  You know that you have left an unforgettable legacy here on earth and we all hope to carry it out for you and raise awareness about how threatening drinking and driving can be. 
            To tell you that I loved you one more time.  To go back in time and tell you not to get in that car, and to wear your seatbelt.  To see you dance one more time.  I wish you could have lived your beautiful life.  I would give anything to have those moments back in my reach, and to see where you would end up in this cruel world.  Would you be famous?  Where would you have lived?  Would you have a small or big family?  These questions are constantly burning in my mind.  It kills me that they will never be answered, and that you will never experience life like you were supposed to. 
            I want to tell people the dangers of drinking and driving.  No one should ever endure loss like this.  My heart aches for your family and closest loved ones.  How do they even begin to wake up every day?  You know that we are all strong enough to get through the toughest days, but some days it feels impossible to even begin to move on.  My biggest fear is that I will loose the image of you in my mind, and that I will forget the sound of your sweet sounding laughter.  I pray that I will never forget. 
            I know for a fact that you are watching over all of us right now, and I am so thankful that you are.  Even though you are no longer on this earth, you will forever be alive and dancing in our hearts. 
            It’s funny that when something as tragic as this happens, we all look at our lives in a different way.  If loosing you was for a reason, it was for all of us to re-evaluate our lives and to live each moment like it is our last.  You have definitely taught me that.  We never know when our last breath is going to be.  Why waist this precious and short time that we have in this world letting it slip through our fingers.  We are supposed to go do, and to love our loved ones with an unconditional adoration.  Why waist this time being upset and angry? 
            I hope you are happy with the life you lived here, Amanda.  I hope you are having the time of your life right now.  I hope you are looking over all of us.  As you are dancing in the heavens above, I will be dancing for you down here.  Though questions may never be answered, and I will forever miss your presence, I am thankful I have you in my life. 
Sincerely,

Michaela Moore
