Life is short. This is a shocking realization that everybody comes to at some point in their life. On Monday I learned that my good friend's mother had passed away after a long illness. I found this news out just a day after the one year anniversary of my own father's passing. I felt horrible for my friend because I know what it's like to lose a parent, especially one you are so close to.
Before these last twelve months I never really thought much about death and/or dying but now I realize how naive I was. It sucks, it's hard to deal with and it never gets better, you just kind of learn to live with it. Hopefully like me most people won't have to lose anyone close to them for a long time. However, I know this year has more than made up for that in my own life.
The point of this post, particularly after my last post was so negative, is to tell people to enjoy family and life. People spend so much time trying to live in an isolated environment and complain about everything. Really they should get out, enjoy life and stay close to their family because one never knows when things can change forever.
