Life is way to short

Today I realized that life is way to short for some people. I have had a friend pass away today and it really hit me hard. He died of natural causes. So I started thinking a little to much. I always knew that one day everyone will have there day and will pass away but at the age of 28. It's just to much to swallow. In Dec I lost my Great Aunt and that took a lot out of me also. But when you know someone and they aren't much older than you it hits in a different kind of place, ya know? I don't know if anyone will be able to understand what I am trying to say. What I am trying to get at is to love life as god gives you and try your hardest to make the best of it. Never take things for granted. If you have loved ones around you tell them you love them and hug and kiss them as much as you can.

People keep sending me pics of me and him. I will send them to you. I'm sad too. Life will go on, we WILL hold a memorial service for him and I love you. I'm sorry we have to let him go. It was his time. It just truly was and we have to accept that. I messaged Nikki, She should call you tomorrow.

Life is far too short, we should always make the most of every day and grab happiness when you can. A friend of mine lost her gorgeous little girl just after her third birthday to terminal cancer she spent her short little life battling cancer but she still grabbed it with both hands and gave it a good old shake and got the most out of life that she could.
Its devastating to lose someone at any time of life but I do think it can hit with a different kind of force when its someone so young

you are right. i agree with you and we do not hold our lives in a can. for all we know today is our last day.
All we need to do is live each day as wonderfully as we can, do not sleep on arguments with our loved ones for we may never be able to say goodbye to themmmm

I too am sad and sorrowful for the loss of life at such a young age but I remember a dying man say how different the world looks when you know your life is coming to an end. Since then I try, when I remember, to live as if my life was soon to end. It does make me appreciate people more and it gives new meaning to everyday experiences.

This what you say is very true. No one knows how long they are going to be here. Age doesn't matter when it comes to this. It is important to let people know that you love them and appreciate them. When they are gone and if you didn't than you ask yourself why didn't you let them know while they were alive and it is to late to go back and change things. Now is the time to show your love and appreciate to those who are close to you. A touching discussion.

I am sorry to hear losing persons close to you. I agree with what you say and I suddenly remembered some lines I have read before, it goes like this: "Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching." Life is so short and there is no better time to be happy, than now. Our life will be full of challenges and I think that happiness is the way. It is important to treasure every moment of it because time waits for no one. Stay Safe...
