*I own no rights to the song being played or the poem used in this video.

Made for one of my best friends, Lauren Katie Wright, who passed away in a tragic car accident on July 4th, 2011 on her way to see fireworks. I speak for everyone when I say she was and still is a beautiful, caring, girl that will forever be missed by anyone who knows her.

The picture of the balloons at the very end were released after Lauren's funeral at the cemetery. Attached were little notes written for Lauren by everyone in attendance.

The picture near the end that has "Rise Above" on a bracelet - Lauren's Mother, Shannon, created the group "Rise Above" in Lauren's memory. Lauren was bullied a lot in school, and this group is about putting a stop to bullying; not by stopping the bullies but by standing up for yourself and others, learning to control your anger, and practicing forgiveness.

  • Btw, that was to @alliemackenzie12

  • I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. I know how hard it is to lose someone like that. It gets better though; you realize you can't change it so you have to just be happy for the time you did get to spend with them, and that you got to be a part of their short time here on Earth. Never forget them though, and let his family know you'll never forget him too. They need to know that.

    P.S. The song is Jo Dee Messina - Heaven Was Needing A Hero.
