I have also had a bit of reflection on life as well. Contemplations about what is important and what makes me happy. More important that tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone. Who knows if I will wake up tomorrow and see the sunshine like I did today. This didn't happen for a friend of mine this morning, she passed away early today of a cancerous brain tumor. She didn't ask for this nor did she deserve this. All her life she was the good girl, the smart girl, she graduated with honors and was a cheerleader. She was so brave and strong all the way to the end. Several treatments and surgeries both unfortunately did not fix what ailed her. A little over a year ago another friend passed from a heart attack. Both of these people were full of life, you could see the sparkle in their eyes of the fire that burned deep in their souls. I have never really been that much of a "religious" person but I do believe that they are watching after all of us. I'm sure they feel pain of missing their family members; children, a husband, a girlfriend and of course the friends that they brought close into their lives but they are no longer in any physical pain. I guess my prospective on life has changed a bit since I was 17-18 yrs old surrounded by friends and such thinking how great our lives are gonna be when we are real adults living on our own do what we want. We do not think that any of our friends are gonna die of a heart attack by age 39 or a brain tumor by age 40.
Steve & Lanie your friends and family will always love you, miss you and never forget you.
