Dallas Lee Bradford was an amazing young woman who had her whole life ahead of her when it was suddenly cut short. Since her death, everyone has been talking about her (not all of it good).
Sitting at the funeral today I was appalled at the fact that there were people who came in sweats and athletic shorts. I sat there thinking my mom taught me better than that, didn't their parents do the same? I then remembered, it's not about how we dressed. It's not about the grudges we may have had at one point. It's not about who knew her best and who didn't. It's not about how she died, it's about how she lived. It's about the fact that the world lost an amazing daughter, neice, granddaughter and most of all, a friend. It's about the fact that we are all breaking and no matter what happened in the past, we are all there for each other now. It's about the fact that a life was cut far too short, and it's a lesson to be learned. It's a lesson about rethinking how we treat people. It's a lesson about love. It's a lesson about putting grudges aside. It's a lesson about learning to live life to it's fullest. In my heart you will always stay, loved and remembered every day. Rest in peace Dallas <3
