My Lesson Today...

Go to sleep with everything fine except for what you bring into your mind and put yourself through to waking up and finding the worst new imaginable. 

I learned one of my life's lessons today.. The hard way.  

Keep those special to you as close as you can. Never let a day go by that you tell them what they mean to you. For one day the next day you thought was never to be. 

I jumped to conclusions and worked myself up to find that a friend dear to me was no longer here.   There is a family mourning the loss of a father, husband, grandfather and brother. No more birthdays, no more Christmas', no more smiles or conversations to have. Only memories that will forever be, at times, happy, others--sad, but always fond memories of that special soul no longer to hold. 

I took my licking today, deservedly so, I will miss my friend more than anyone could know.. I will look back at the times shared and I will see his smile and hear his voice and that helps to keep this friend close.. 

His family has a tough road ahead but together through love and support, they will find a way.   

I send prayers for their strength to get them through and to my friend in Heaven... You will be missed and you are loved everyday.  

Thanks----
