I heard yesterday about a friend from high school who suddenly passed away. He graduated the year before I did. He was sick, had to be admitted to the hospital and suddenly started going downhill very fast. I don't know very much of the details but I guess it was only a couple of days and then he was gone.
To say the least it has been a reminder of the brevity of this life. It's certainly true that we do not know how long our lives will last on this earth. We can hope to accomplish or do all that we want or God has for us but we do not know when our time is over.
For instance my friend had a great job, a house, was successful but had never married or had children. I find that one or both of those things are important to many people and yet he never had the chance to experience it.
If you have a moment please say a prayer for his family. I cannot imagine what they are going through right now. And remember to take the time to connect with those you care about to let them know how much they mean to you.
