As December drew closer, Keira’s friends and their families found themselves approaching one year since that split second when their lives were forever changed. So what do they do? How do they “live like Keira”? How do they “feel good always”? They follow her lead. They do what she showed them, what she did on her last day here. Her friends’ families came together, raising enough money to buy Christmas presents for 70 foster children. Then, just as Keira would have, we all went shopping together to pick out the perfect gifts. But it didn’t stop there. The following weekend, the girls held a fundraiser at Flower Farm, using the funds to purchase every single item from the Amazon wish list.

Keira brought so many beautiful souls into our lives. She came to change us, to change them, to leave a profound impact. And I love knowing this truth and watching it unfold, again and again.
