FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

2 years ago, @emiilly.rosee and I were about to collaborate for the summer making fitness videos and working together. I’ll never forget her phone call with all of her plans and excitement that she had for her YouTube page, we had our first shoot day planned and everything. But then she called about a week after our talk, and asked if we could shoot “this coming weekend” then went to explain that she had just been diagnosed with Cancer.

I was on the next flight.

Emily was a huge Shawn Mendes fan and the running joke her and I had for years since we met while I was the videographer for the UCF dance team, was I’d always comment “ @shawnmendes “ on her posts so that he might see it.

I’ll never forget making this video for her right before her treatments began and I knew exactly the song that I was going to use for the edit. “In My Blood”, a song about not being able to quit even when circumstances might make it easy too.

I have openly shared several times on my Social media, that there are times where I can get feeling really down, but the name has always popped in my mind in my lowest moments was “Emily”, in those times where life was getting tough on my end, I always remembered she was fighting for hers. She texted me about a month ago after I had posted asking for a little pick me up from you all and she said “sending all my love”, it was instant perspective and the most beautiful reminder to keep my head up. She was in the most difficult part of her fight but still thought of someone other than herself. I’m so thankful for the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to tell her how much that meant and the impact she’s made on me.

For the rest of my life, I will remember her fighting spirit and her encouraging personality. I’ll never forget the last shot of the video I told her “give me that ‘don’t give up smile’” and it was everything.

When I first met Emily she was sitting on the practice floor at the UCF gym, she was brand new on the team, I walked up to her introduced myself to her, she said “wanna be friends?” I replied in me fashion… “well that’d be an honor”

It really was.

You will be missed my sweet friend.
