This year brings a whole new tragedy. One of the most wonderful and decent human beings that I have ever had the privilege of being friends with was killed in a car accident on the "lucky" Friday the 13th. This brought about so many emotions for me, I don't know what to do with myself. I loved Zach and its so unfair to me that something so tragic could happen to someone so young and promising in our world. But it also brought about several new thoughts on the horizon- is there a heaven? It's not that I've ever not believed in heaven, but I've never had an experience that has brought me so close to the idea until now. And after thinking about Zach and his endeavors on earth, I still feel his presence with me. It's like it's not real. It just can't be. And I know that that is all part of grieving, but now I'm getting a lot more acclimated to the idea of heaven and spiritual living.
It's also made me realize how much I need to appreciate the ones around me. Life is so fragile- it's amazing how fast someone so wonderful and camouflaged in our life can be taken away from us without any hesitation or opportunity to say goodbye. Now that he's gone, and thankfully I did have a nice conversation just 3 days before he passed away, I really want to take this time to really show how much I appreciate all of the wonderful people in my life who have affected me in some sort of way. There is no room for drama or pettiness. No room for fights or bickering. It's just not worth it. Life is so beautiful and to live it through unhappiness is wasting it away all too quickly.
I love you, Zach. You were an inspiration to so many people and are so loved by everyone you ever touched. ♥♥
RIP Zachary Headden
