Things I learned from Andy

Before you read this, I want to tell you who Andy was. Andy was my "Brother". I grew up with him, recieved my first haircut from him, went on my first date with him (because no one wanted to take the 'fat girl' to the valentine's dance...so he took me, as a friend), and loved him.
Andy was in a car accident Feb. 13, 2008 that killed him. He was pronounced dead the next day, on Valentine's day, also his brother's 15th birthday.
He was the most wonderful person, next to my husband, I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He didn't have any enemies, only friends, and under heroes on his myspace page, he put "Jesus Christ". He meant it too. It wasn't just for show. I love and miss you Andy! (Jun 1991-Feb 2008)

♥ Never take anyone or anything forgranted because you don’t know when they’ll be gone.
♥ Never turn anyone away, even if they are incredibly annoying.
♥ The only 3 things in life that matter here on earth are Family, Friends, and witnessing to others about Christ.
♥ Plan for the future with the intent of living forever, while simultaniously living everyday as if it were your last.
♥ Listen to other people, even if you don’t really care what they have to say.
♥ Live life with as few regrets as possible, you never know when it’ll be your turn to go.
♥ Keep in contact with old friends, you never know when you’ll need a friend’s shoulder to lean on.
♥ When someone wrongs you, turn the other cheek.
♥ Don’t judge a book by it’s cover, or people. The ugly people have a good chance of being great people, and beautiful people have the potential to be horrible. You never know.
♥ Make sure you make everyone feel as if they’re of equal importance and do your best not to leave anyone else.
♥ Smile wherever you can, wherever you can.
What will people remember about you after you go?
