practice random acts of kindness

and for the sake of all humanity,
let this be a message
we all carry in our hearts
into the streets
into the workplace
into every corner of the globe

for Emily
and all the others,
the innocents,
who can never carry another message,
can never give or receive another hug

"I love U guys..."

her last text message home,
while being held hostage.

RIP Emily Keyes, sweet 16
you will forever be missed.



Bailey, Colorado...will never be the same.

(A spokesman for the Keyes family, Louis Gonzalez, stood outside a local church and asked the world
to practice "random acts of kindness" in Emily’s name.)

I have a little Miss Emily in my life...
and this young lady's courage
can only be a testament

to life

It hurts

to think

and yet...

we must, have to, change things.


Thank you, Kacy

I know you will hold her close, Karilea.
And I also know you are already one who lives that message.

Why has our world become so evil and such
a dangerous place....You can trust almost
no one....It is sad, her death even more
so....
