You never know what will happen in life. Take more time to say hello to people you care about. Take more time to reach out to an old friend and say hello. Take more time for the important things in life. Take more time to spend it with those important to you. You just never know when you won't have that chance. Each day is a blessing and a gift. We all get busy and take way too many things for granted. Time to make a change....

On Wednesday, I received a message on FB a close friend from high schol passed away due to a collision.
He was an insanely smart and caring guy and always made time for friends. He sadly left his wife as well as his 3 young children due to a terrible motorcycle him. He was in full motorcycle gear and helmeted, but his helmet failed.

Sadly, it sometimes takes the greatest of cruelties for us as people to understand how ephemeral life really is, and how quickly tragedy can swoop in and change the entire paradigm we dwell in. So, in light of this, as I stated before, don't neglect those you hold dear, don't let perceived slights drive you away, perhaps understand there are few things that are unforgivable.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew him, especially his family. May you find the strength to get through this very difficult time. Rest in Peace my friend!

A message to friends and others, who read this message: Please think before you drive like an idiot, or text and drive. Pay attention! You could kill a son, husband, father, and great friend like my friend CJ.
