I stopped by the nail shop today to get one of my nails filed down because it was too sharp.
As soon as I walked in, an acoustic cover of Halo by Beyoncé starts playing, much like the one that was played at my friend’s funeral a few months ago. I wanted to leave right then and there because I felt myself getting emotional.
Not 2 minutes after I sit down, I get a notification on my phone that another friend has added a photo and tagged me in it. It was the picture that we all took together outside of her funeral all dressed in pink (her favorite color).
I figured it was just her trying to say hello and to make sure that I didn’t forget her and the promise I made.
I’ll never forget. I hung the pin that we had made, with her picture on it, on my rear view mirror so that I can be reminded every day that I get in my car to drive safely and to never drink and drive.
Life is way too short and precious.
