Life's Lessons


Now it seems as though it's my turn to post something serious. At around 2:30 this afternoon my family and I received word from a family friend that a friend of theirs has lost both her parents and her uncle was seriously injured and most likely will lose his leg due to a multiple motorcycle accident that occurred this afternoon. Apparently there were a group of them riding along when a man in a pickup truck hauling a boat lost control and the trailer came unhitched and crossed both lanes striking all 3 of the lead motorcycles. The first two motorcycles carried the girls parents they died instantly the 3rd motorcycle carried her uncle. although I don't really know this young girl personally, I have only met her and her husband once before at a wedding I attended a few months back. I still can't help but feel a bond of sorts with this girl given my own situation. So why am I writing you may ask? Well I am just struck once again by how short the time that we are given here on this planet really is. All I'm really asking is that you just take one minute out your day today to let those that are closest to you know much they mean to you and how much you care, because as the saying goes we really can be here today and gone tomorrow!!! So that said my love to you all!! God Bless and stay safe !!

And the hits just keep on coming, at about 8:00pm this evening came word from my grandmother that my dad's eldest brother Jim's wife Sherrie has suffered a massive stroke the long term prospect for her recovery is not good at all. Please say a prayer for my aunt if you could thanks.
