" In one instant, everything can change. It was the mantra she lived her life by and a lesson she’d learned all too well when she was only ten years old. Never take anyone or anything for granted. In one blink, life altered and sometimes all you could do was hang on as tightly as possible while it did its best to sling you off. "
