All the Empty Disappears...Hello World: Please. Read. Now.

I don't write a lot on my blog anymore, but I definitely remember the reason I started it. I started it because I had this desire to outlet all these emotions I felt inside and didn't think I would be able to in any other way than to write. I have had this huge rush of emotion lately. I believe we are called to bear one another's burdens, and this is exactly what I will write about.

My young adult life has not been completely without trials. One thing I believe is the power of another human being. Whether someone acts out of hate or out of love, there is power in mankind. I prefer to believe in the power of love.

Bailee and Taylor's story really didn't seem all that different from the beginning from any other BYU couple.

Boy meets girl.

Boy loves girl.

Girl says yes.

And then the story changes. It becomes much different than any other story you have heard. Three hours after being engaged, and while traveling home for the holidays, a terrible car accident occured. Maddie, Taylor's little sister (freshman at BYU), dies immediately. Bailee manages to flag down a car and help save her fiancee's life. (For a much better article read my friend Annaleece's blog here.)

Taylor, with Bailee's assistance, made it out alive but with incredible injuries. Medical bills are going to be incredibly high. Speaking from an individual who has had a fair share of medical bills, I can not imagine what it would have been like without insurance. Taylor's insurance will not be covering, so they are going to be entering the world of massive debt in a newlywed life.

People are good. I believe if you are reading this, you are a good person. The world is hard, and there is some bad, but all in all, I believe in humanity. I am also aware of the financial difficulties we are all facing, and how hard it is around the holidays. This morning I looked in my car and my pockets and my wallet and the bottom of my purse and found over two dollars. That money would have eventually been spent on Diet Coke, but it is not necessary to drink the amount of DC I do. I looked this week and saw that between Subway and McAllisters Deli, I had spent another ten dollars. I think we can all give at least a dollar or two. In the world of medical bills, forty five dollars pays for a blood draw. It's over 26,000 dollars for lung surgery. The list could go on and on. And the amount they will owe will definitely go on.
