Live For Today
You hear that and read it, but sometimes (for me) it goes in one ear and out the other. However, last month I found out that a girl I went to school with died of cancer. I wasn't close to her or her family, but it hit a nerve with me because she was my age. To hear she died of cancer at age 37 was a reality check for me. I've thought about it off an on since I read about it and have even returned to her obituary page twice since then. I'm not sure why I've gone back to look at it....there isn't anything new there and obviously won't be anything new in the future, but I just needed to read it a few more times.
Then, this morning another reality check came. A woman I only know from Flickr died on Monday. I don't know exactly how old she was, but she was my age or younger. I browsed her photo stream again and a title on one of her pictures made me cry. It's of a cat and the title is "I love Babycat". That just made me sad. What was even more sad was when I looked at this photo.
I guess it's true, only the good die young.
Hug the people you care about and tell them how much you love them...today. You might not be around tomorrow.
Virtual hugs to all my readers.
