One of my really good friends recently lost her sister who was two years older than her. She was in the car with some friends on the way to the movies, and while they were driving on the interstate, got hit by a drunk driver. She died instantly, the same with the driver, but the boy sitting in the back is in critical condition.
It's just so scary to me to think that these kind of things can ACTUALLY happen... to people you know. It's not just something you see in movies, it's real life. And while I have always been one of those people who sit back and say, "That will never happen to me." It's completely ignorant, because it can.
And while I try to muster up the words to say to her, I can't. What DO you say when something like this happens? I am at a complete loss of words. And it bites.
So, what's the point of this story?
Cherish the people in your life that you hold dearest. Tell them that you love them as many times as you can, until it gets on their nerves, and then do it some more. Because even though they are here today, you never know when they can escape from your grasp. And though it kills me to think about that, it really does open up my eyes to all of the wonderful people around me. That I love most of all.
Go ahead, run out and make them smile.

Love,
