“The greatest lesson I’ve learned is: make sure I love the people in my life while they are still around. Always be caring and always be there for those important to you. Live in the moment and make sure you don’t look back with any regrets. Never take your chances of losing someone and leaving something left unsaid. The people you love are those who shape you into who you are and I always try to be my best self for those people. Life is short and unexpected; love those around you and show that you care. Make memories because they stick with you forever.”
