So as I mentioned in my first post, a friend of ours, Maureen Allaben, was murdered by her husband earlier this month. Her memorial was this week. It was beautiful. Many stories, but all with the same underlying theme: the light in her eyes.
One person's tribute especially spoke to me. She talked about how everyone had mentioned that Maureen was not only a light, but radiated light to encourage the light in others. I want to take that to heart.
I know it's cliched, but tragic events like Maureen's death should serve as a wake-up call. I do want to be a better person, live more fully, appreciate my family and friends more, and experience more. Just squeeze the most out of life.

A special shout out goes to BET who hosted the memorial service.
