BEDA DAY 3: Esther Day 2011

Today is August 3rd. Today is a day dedicated to sharing love. Today my friends, is Esther Day.

Now, although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Esther Earl, her story touched my heart dearly. Esther was strong, dedicated to whatever she did and all around a lovely girl. Esther was a Nerdfighter, who worked harder than anyone to decrease levels of worldsuck. Although her cancer restricted her slightly, she used the internet to talk to fellow Nerdfighters and find new ways to spread her awesome around the community online. Needless to say, Esther was made of awesome. Well, that's what I know from what I've heard in the the countless stories at least. 

Today is Esther's birthday, and although she is no longer with us, we are still working hard to give her what she wanted most: A world full of love. Everyone today is encouraged to tell their mom, dad, brother, sister cousin, aunt, uncle, friend or anyone else who has a close place in your heart that you love them. Although love is an expression we except to see everyday around us, sometimes busy schedules and other things get in the way of being able to say three simple words, "I love you."

 So today is a day full of love, love that will hopefully continue to be shared on other days as well; love that will last a lifetime. And with that I say, I love you. If you care enough to read this right now, you are a wonderful person. Now go spread the love on.

A Happy Esther Day to all <3
