Life is so very fragile

I just read this really sad article a little bit ago. This young woman was being stalked for two years and was eventually shot and killed by him.
It was so sad because her husband of 2 years was like a building over and ran to her.. and sat with her.. and on the 911 call you can hear him saying 'Baby, I love you, I love you, keep breathing.. baby'.
It made me think about my boyfriend and I. What we both would do if either of us was in this situation. And I realized that life is just so fragile.
You hear these terrible stories about other people. And you think end up thinking 'Oh that's so sad'. But they don't ever think it will happen to them. But the thing is the fact it hasn't happened to any of us.. I mean.. sudden death of a partner/family member or even themselves is just by chance.
And at first thinking that way.. made me really afraid. I don't want to lose my boyfriend! He is quite literally my other half and my everything. But then I started thinking.. I could worry about it.. but that would only hinder the time I do have with him.
SO I might as well make sure everyday I am with him he knows I love him.. and really make my time with him worth it. Life is so precious and can be extinguished so easily and most people don't realize this.
Any thoughts mylotters? I am just putting out my beliefs. But please, tell me how you feel about life and what I had to say?

It is a sad situation. Many times even the police and restraining orders don't work to save someone from a stalker. You didn't say if they caught him or not, but what could have driven him to such an extent that he would shoot her versus let her go and be happy with out him. Something tragic must have happened in his life too. And it's sad that no one got him the help he so desperately needed before he crossed that line.
What I get from it is just to appreciate what you have an to make the most of it. I agree that life is fragile and so changeable. Some things in life we can control, but when we die isn't usually one of them. My home was invaded when I was home back in October and even tho they robbed me quite badly, they didn't harm me physically nor my cats. I am still dealing with the after shocks of the event and being threatend with someone shooting me in the head. I never hated them, I just pity them for the choices they have made for they will rue the day they made them at some point. I do believe in God and thank him every day for letting me live that day!
It's rare to find someone that you adore that adores you and to have that last is wonderful. One day at a time is how I try to live my life, do my best, and let my loved ones know that I love and care for them.
