Death on a Friday

Today has been a really hard day. My best friend's grandfather passed away today and my neighbor's father passed away today. Death just seems to be surrounding me...it is quite scary and just really depressing. I know that people die every minute, but the fact that two people from families that I am really close with died today is just horrible. I thank God every day for giving me my life and my family and friends. I think him for getting me to where I am today and keeping me safe, healthy and happy. Now, more than ever, am I thankful for what I have. I mean my neighbor's father just died suddenly. He was only a few years older than my mom. My grandmother (who I never met) died when she was only a few years older than how old my mom is. This is a hard time and I don't mean to get all religious on you because personally I am not very religious but really, be thankful for what you have! Tell your friends and family that you love them and resolve any petty fights or arguments that are happening, because you honestly don't know if they will make it to the next day. I know that that was really depressing, but it's part of life and it is something we will all have to deal with. I'll talk to you guys soon!
