April 19th 2013 was the first time that someone I loved passed away. I didn't find out until a few months later, but even so, my initial reaction to the news was one I had never experienced before. My phone fell from my hand, my whole body went numb, and it felt as if the whole world stood still. I stayed on her obituary page reading the words "Jamie Renee Burnett passed away April 19th 2013" over and over again trying to wrap my head around it but i just couldn't. The next day, I was completely oblivious to the world around me as those same words ran rampant through my head. After awhile, I started to come to terms with her passing. I would listen to her favorite country music as I reminisced about the times i was fortunate enough to spend with her. She was a hard working person who had a full time job and full time schedule at school and had a talent for kindness. It was her determined attitude towards life and kind hearted personality that won me over. I promised my self that I would keep going forward in school and in life so that my successes reflect at least half of what she would have accomplished herself. Jamie Renee Burnett, I miss you and will always love you! Rest in peace.....
