♥ Heather ♥

Well it's been a hard 2 weeks now.
I lost one of my best friends Heather to Epilepsy.
She had a grande maul seizure and passed on the 3rd January 2015
It's been devastating. I've been trying to keep my self together
but it's getting harder and harder as her ceremony approaches.
Her family had her cremated as Heather wouldn't want to be buried.
She hated bugs and all ideas having to do with them.
So instead of a funeral they will be doing a celebration of life for her.

When me and Heather met we had a mix up as she thought that I hated her, & I
thought she hated me. Which we later found out wasn't the case and became friends.
Soon to be best friends. Beginning to talk more and more everyday. Heather became
my sunshine when I was down at the worst moments. We even colored our hair Pink
together. She was a bright star for me when everything seemed shit; and she always
knew when I needed someone to talk to. So in honor of Heather; Myself & Barry
have colored our Hair Pink! (Mustache). We're always going to remember you.
& even though Barry didn't get to know you in the short time you two met he still
cared enough to do this for you. You were the best friend anyone could ask for.

I'm heartbroken.
I keep waiting for her to text me and be okay.
Not hearing her voice when she randomly calls,
No more random calls,
No more weird conversations.
No more Heather....
I wish I had just one more day with her...just one.

♥I miss you Heather♥ 

For those of you who are not aware about Epilepsy here are some facts.

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological condition which affects the nervous system. Epilepsy is also known as a seizure disorder. It is usually diagnosed after a person has had at least two seizures that were not caused by some known medical condition.

What are Seizures?

Seizures seen in epilepsy are caused by disturbances in the electrical activity of the brain. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency, but most of the time the cause is unknown…

• 65 MILLION: Number of people around the world who have epilepsy.
• OVER 2 MILLION: Number of people in the United States who have epilepsy.
• 1 IN 26 people in the United States will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime.
• BETWEEN 4 AND 10 OUT OF 1,000: Number of people on earth who live with active seizures at any one time. 
• 150,000: Number of new cases of epilepsy in the United States each year
• ONE-THIRD: Number of people with epilepsy who live with uncontrollable seizures because no available treatment works for them.
• 6 OUT OF 10: Number of people with epilepsy where the cause is unknown.

If you know someone with Epilepsy or even if you don't please share the awareness

Loosing someone to anything is hard. Loosing someone to Epilepsy is eye opening.

I Wear Purple For Heather. 

Rest In Paradise My Love
