Today, I am 13 years old and just came back from my best friend's funeral. She was in the seventh grade with me, and has had heart problems since birth. No one expected it to be so sudden. She was beautiful, kind, and always smiling. She never once complained about her open heart surgeries that she had to go through every few years. I am going to miss her so much, but I feel blessed for the times I had with her. She taught me to cherish what I have. MMT

Hey sweetheart, I know this is a long shot, but a little girl, named Taylor, from the dance studio I used to dance at also passed away. She was also in the 7th grade and had heart problems. Is this your friend? If so I want to let you know she was a beautiful person, and has affected many people. I am sorry I never got to meet her. If its not her, I am still sorry for your loss, you are a strong little lady. Keep your head up! Lots of love!

Did you go to Medway Dance Authority? That's where she danced.

Yes, thats where I went, I am 20 now so I never got to meet her. But I recently returned to dance in the recital as an alumni. The MDA family loved that little girl, its very evident she was special. God bless you and God bless Taylor.

My cousin was also born with heart problems and died suddenly a year ago today, after having the time of her life the previous night. Just before I read your MMT I was feeling so upset about losing her and not remembering the good times as well as I used to, but seeing that there was another person who touched as many lives with her positivity as my cousin did, well, it helps. I'm 22 and marvel at your emotional strength and positive outlook at such a young age. Keep it up, and thanks for making me think. My prayers go with you and your friend.
