Please indulge me today. Those of you that truly know me, you know that I dont talk about things that hurt me very well. I express my feelings by writing, so I apologize in advance. I am 50 years old and I will be 51 next month. I know at this point in my life I should expect to start losing people. However, I always thought that would happen to people in their 80s or 90s. Lately, the losses I have seen have been a10 yr old football player, a 48 year old mother, a 22 year old son, a devoted father of 3 girls, a young devoted mother of 8, a childhood friend that suddenly passed away without warning, a 37 friend with cancer, and yesterday I lost my cool brother. I went to a funeral last week for a young man that was killed. He was only 22. At the cemetery, the funeral director started giving his thank you speech. As he begin to speak, it dawned on me that I knew this speech. I have heard it so many times that I knew most of the words. At that moment, I knew we were living in some crazy times. Life is so short and it appears to be getting shorter. I know we are all extremely busy, but please take time to tell those around you that you love them. Dont ever get so caught up in making a living that you forget to make a life. Live everyday to the fullest and hug your kids daily. And to those young children whose lives I have touched, please know that you mean the world to me and I love you with all my heart. Make wise choices and never let anyone talk you into doing something you know is wrong. Take care and God bless you all.
