Sean Boswell was a very dear friend of Kristiana. Like Krista and Sarah, Sean had recently been baptized into the Mormon Church. Sean is a kind and gentle soul who was typical of the kind of person Krista and Sarah chose as friends. Sarah had the chore of telling Sean of Krista's death that traumatic night on October 8th. Like us, Sean was devastated. He stayed up through the night and wrote this: |
Time goes by fast as we live our lives to the fullest. We seek Freedom, Glory, Love, Happiness, but most of all Happiness. We live day to day not knowing where our feet may always lead us, but we follow them anyway. We have our good days and our bad days, yet we always hope that when we arise the next morning things will only get better. We see our friends everyday at school or work or some other place of social. Although, do we take advantage of their presence or do we create drama off small differences? We search for Glory, Glory of our own personal achievements, which we are praised for when accomplished. We thrive on Glory; because we feel successful at something, we feel we deserve praise for, from our strengths in perseverance, work ethic, and humility. We adventure in Freedom, because being captive we feel we lose our agency to choose what is right and what is wrong. We push our limits as human beings to see if we can gain our own personal Glory. We don't always like to be told where we should set our limits; we just want to learn for ourselves where we should stop. We explore and experience love in some way and some time in our lives. From the love we instantly have when we see our mother for the first time, to the love we experience with our friends, all the way to loving our spouse Eternally at the end of our life on earth. Whether we find true love or not we continually look for it. Now we finally make our enormous trek of seeking happiness through narrow paths and sharp turns that life puts before us. We seek to be happy with who we are, and happy to know our purpose in life, and to enjoy it by using our other expeditions of life. Whether we learn freedom like an eagle in the open drift of find Glory in our success or discover who is our soul mate and love one another, however, we do not find happiness a lot of times from these works. Yet, for Kristiana Isbell, I believe she found happiness. She was happy who she was; she was happy to have an incredibly strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was happy to have great friends and family that cared about her and loved her to the fullest extent. She sufficed her every need in life by just being Kristiana Isbell. Because, she was special, she told the truth of her feelings on the outside as she felt them in the inside. And as someone once said to me, "The reason we are here is to learn to live happily." She learned that and used every day to her advantage. And, maybe that's the reason that such a beautiful, intelligent, loving, and cherished girl was taken. Because, she understood life's purpose and she fulfilled it. I Love You, Kristiana. Goodbye my precious sister 'til we meet again. Love Always, Sean Boswell |
