When you lose someone who has been important to you, it's only natural that old conversations and memories rise to the surface. Some are more poignant than others, but some become life lessons. Most of my life, I've struggled with wanting things from people that they cannot or will not give. I saw that I had two choices: to stay and fight for what I wanted or to walk away. I learned from my friend Vann Yates that there is a third choice: to stay and accept them just the way they are without sacrificing yourself. I believe that when you are able to accept people for who they are, your unconditional love makes them perfect.
So today, I celebrate that "perfect" Vann Yates whose life lessons live on. Even though today is the anniversary of his abrupt and violent passing, I hold him close in my heart every day. Missing you and loving you still, Vann.
