A reason to Journal

I have always said that my blog to me was a way to express myself and share a piece of me with the world. Well today I need to journal. I can't believe that it has been almost a year since my last entry........................
Today I said goodbye to a great young man. His name was Reed and he was taken away too soon. He was only 23 and had a whole life ahead of him. I knew him since he was in middle school. I use to take care of him and his developmentally disabled brother. He had a heart of gold. He was so handsome, polite, caring, compasionate, and really just an all around great person. It may sound cliche to say that but with Reed its just the truth. I witnessed today a mother's grief that I never hope to have to ever see or endure again. Really the connection between Mother and child is one that stretches further than life or death. When a child dies so does a piece of his mother. Today I came home and hugged my boys for a long time vowing to never take a moment for granted.

I was reminded today that life is too short and you need to live each day to the fullest as if there is no tomorrow because really there are no gurantees in life....not even life itself.

So really I beg you take nothing for granted....never say maybe tomorrow-What if tomorrow never comes?
