Learning to dance in the rain......

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass....

It's about learning to dance in the rain."
~Vivian Greene

Having just spent two of the saddest days with my "closest to family" childhood friends who suffered a tragic loss - I needed to read this. My dearest friend's God-daughter, Alyssa Ann Seaman, after living on this earth for a mere 22 years, was taken from our human life. Alyssa, who lived with epilepsy since she was 5 died in her sleep from the complications of an epileptic seizure.

Alyssa had her big life (as we know it) ahead of her. A graduate of the Fashion Institute - she just found that job that allowed her to design - her passion was accessories.  On New Year's Eve she spent the night dancing and celebrating with her friends - friends she loved and dancing was absolutely what she loved to do.

Donald, her father, a man I always remember with the greatest faith, was looking for the positive through this tragic loss with his storm so present. Please, everyone, keep this family in  your prayers. I know, from hearing her friends and family talk of Alyssa, she would definitely want us to "learn to dance in the rain."
