about 45 minutes ago one of my friends here found out that his father died today.
we are all in shock and don't know exactly what to do.
i just keep thinking "that could have been my dad or mom." it is my worst fear that one day while i am at college or away from home that i will get a phone call telling me that one of my precious parents is gone. and i take them for granted.
so today, i am going to try to not take them for granted. i am blessed beyond belief to have the hard-working and loving parents that i have. they have given me the world to the best of their ability.
my world would be crushed without them.
i love you mom and dad. thank you for everything you have done for me.
i love you too jess.
ugh. a very unpleasant way to gain perspective.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad. :( it is too bad that it takes stuff like a death to remind us what's really important...I too take people for granted when nothing is ever guarenteed. Thanks for this reminder. Will be thinking of you and your friend today...
