Katelyn Markham

On the weekend of the Sacred Heart festival,  K atelyn Markham, 22, disappeared. Her last contact was a photo sent to her boyfriend's phone on August 14th 2011.

She lived in my area- a little over a mile from my house. And she disappeared without a trace.

They searched for her. They came and searched my yard. And those of all my neighbors. Because we all lived so close. I shudder when I think of it.

Flyers went up. It was on the news. And the trail was cold.

The anniversary passed.

Kayelyn was gone. And her family and friends grieved.

On Sunday, a couple of guys searching in an Indiana “dump site” for scrap metal to sell found bones covered in garbage by a creek. They have been IDed as Katelyn's remains.

The closure is good for the family and now they can properly grieve the loss. Hopefully the police will be able to figure out what happened.

Rest in Peace, sweet girl. I pray for your family.

If Today Was Your Last Day ~ Nickelback


My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day's a gift and not a given right

Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind

... And try to take the path less traveled by

That first step you take is the longest stride


If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

If today was your last day


Against the grain should be a way of life

What's worth the prize is always worth the fight

Every second counts 'cause there's no second try

So live like you'll never live it twice

Don't take the free ride in your own life



If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce old memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day



If today was your last day

Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?

You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars

Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes

'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life

Let nothin' stand in your way

Cause the hands of time are never on your side



If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?



Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce old memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day
