Life

Life is one of those things that you have to take pride in. You have to trust that you did your best and the people you did your best for, will remember you fondly when they think of you. It can be over in a instance and you could be gone tomorrow. By a act of god, an accident, or by anothers hands. Tell everyone in your life that you love them, it doesn't have to be everyday. It would be a great thing to say it everyday but lets be realistic, if you do it everyday it goes into one ear and out another. But in one of those rare and quiet moments just pop up and say, "I love you". Look at that person and say it, it only takes a moment. Families have been torn apart by acts of random violence. In an instance your world could be turned upside down and you no longer have that family or friend to say, "I love you". Your children or your future generation won't know this person exist because they are no longer here. You have to keep the memories alive. Don't get all tied up that you didn't say "I love you" everyday of their lives. Just know that if you answered the phone for them everytime they called, when they needed something you were there for them, or if you allowed them to see you smile when they told a joke they know you loved them. They may not be here but they knew they were loved. Its a hopeless feeling to know that people can be here one minute and gone the next. But we as the human race are not putting our lives on hold just because we could be gone the minute we step out the door. We are living our lives, enjoying out blessings. So don't wallow in losing someone, they want to know they live in your memories, and that you are living your life to the fullest. They can't deny you the mourning ritual, but they aren't wishing you death upon theirs. Hold on to the fact that they lived their lives and now you must live your own life to. Its not a honor to the person missing that you lock yourself up and keep the world out. You can take steps to better yourself if you want, you can be kinder to a stranger, or you can just look up and say "I love you", as a honor to those that have passed out of your life. But live and live for them, they lost their lives so much earlier then should be. Remember them with fondness and a smile. Be that person, and live.
