She was diagnosed with breast cancer around 7 years ago and it recently started to spread. I went to the visiting on march 2nd and was awe struck by how many people this amazing person touched in one way or another. They had to make a line using chairs to keep it straight. While we were waiting they were playing pictures of her on the screens and I was trying not to cry but once I got to the room where the family an body was I just started balling, the one good thing that came from it was the fact that when I got to her 11 year old son he almost smiled and said "this is why you don't wear mascara" the fact that me looking like a mess made his day a smudge better makes it 10000000000% worth it.
I took one of the pink ribbons and wear it on my jacket with pride because she is my role model, if I am able to touch half the amount of people she did then I would be speechless
She is amazing and I will never forget her
R.I.P. Vanessa, you are deeply missed and my greatest inspiration <3
Ps. Maybe someday I will be able to complete my promise to drive you around :)
