"funny how the modern symphonies of our lives have become triple 'F' forte with burning, prestissimo tempos... we don't sound like music anymore." - Hawksley Workman

A relative of mine was killed this past week in an accident on his farm, and this whole event has made me realize that any given day could be my last and that I should cherish every single day despite the difficulties that arise. So, to my parents, relatives, friends... I do love you and thank you for being there for me on the good and bad days. I really appreciate all that you have done for me, and how you have helped shape who I have become.
