Tough night, reminiscing about old friends and things that were never said. I want to share something I wrote for me only and it is very personal. If you have a heart and feelings, please read it. Thanks to all for being there for me, and most of all, listening & reading. 7/23/14 : HAVE TO WRITE TO GET THINGS OUT AND UNLOAD SOME VERY SAD EMOTIONS THAT HAVE JUST SWEPT OVER ME. NOT IN DANGER JUST OVERWHELMED. “LIFE” MOVES VERY FAST AND WE HAVE TO “FLY” TO KEEP UP WIT ITS PACE. ALL OF US ARE MOVING SO FAST ALL THE TIME, IT BECOMES “NORMAL & ACCEPTED” WAY OF “LIFE”. AT THIS PACE, WE NEVER HAVE OR MAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT THIS THING CALLED “LIFE”. IF WE DID, WE MIGHT REALIZE THAT JUST AS FAST AS IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US IT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY. I, LIKE MOST, NEVER GAVE IT ANY THOUGHT OR CONCERN UNTIL 10 MINUTES AGO. ON JULY 17TH, I LOST A GOOD FRIEND WHO PASSED WITHOUT WARNING. GRANTED, HE HAD BEEN ILL AND CONCERNED BUT NEVER TO THE POINT THAT HIS LIFE MIGHT END – IT DID. I WAS WITH HIM LESS THAN 12 HOURS BEFORE HE WAS GONE AND IT WS THE SAME OLD ROUTINE. MOMENTS AGO, I LEARNED THAT A GOOD FRIEND WHO HAD BEEN ON LIFE SUPPORT FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE PASSED AWAY. I CAN NOT BEGIN TO IMAGINE HOW BAD THE PAIN MUST HAVE BEEN BUT NOW HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE. WOW! WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST, OUT OF ALL OF THIS, IS THAT IN LESS THAN 7 DAYS TWO PEOPLE I KNEW VERY WELL HAVE SUDDENLY PASSED AWAY. I AM ASKING MYSELF THAT, IF IHAD KNOWN THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, WOULD I HAVE MADE AN EFFORT THANK THEM FOR ALLOWING ME INTO THEIR LIVES AND FOR GIVING ME GOOD MEMORIES OF THEIRS? IT MAY NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH BUT TO ME, DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME. SO, FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, I PROMISE MYSELF THAT I WILL START MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO THANK THOSE I MEET OR HAVE EVER MET AND RUN INTO AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME INTO THEIR LIVES, AND GIVING THEM AT LEAST ONE SPECIFIC MEMORY I WILL HAVE FOREVER. FINALLY, WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN TO IT, WE ALL NEED TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT “LIFE” DOESNT COME TO AN END WITH A DATE AND TIME ANNOUNCEMENT. ONE MOMENT SOMEONE IS HERE, THE NEXT MOMENT THEY ARE NOT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN, NONE OF US DO. SO WE NEED TO START TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EVERY CHANCE WE GET, THEN WE WONT EVER HAVE TO WONDER IF THOSE KNEW KNEW HOW THANKFUL WE WERE OF THEM AND WHAT WE WILL REMEMBER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME, THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
