Outside reading #4

For my outside reading number four i read "life is a gift" by lindsey ann parker in chicken soup for the teenage soul volume 4.
This story is about losing someone you love. Lindsey lost her best friend, gray, and at first had trouble accepting the fact that he wasn't coming back. It took her a month after gray's death of visit the grave site and when she did she finally realized that he was in a better place and wasn't coming back. It took losing her best friend for lindsey to understand the importance of life and how easily it can be taken away. There is a quote in the story that i think is very true and it says " Difficult times have helped me understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever." Life is a gift that can be taken away at any moment and should not be taken for granted, so live your life and love every moment of it!
